Bracketology 2016: March Madness Predictions (Final Version)

CLICK HERE for the Hoops HD Selection Committee’s Bracket.  Jon Teitel is guessing the actual committee, but we also built a bracket based on how we THINK things should look, not necessarily on how we WILL think it will look.  

Today is Selection Sunday, which means we only have a few minutes left to make our NCAA tourney predictions. Last March HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel correctly picked 66 of the 68 teams that made the tourney, including 62 right on the money or within 1 spot of their actual seed. See below for his list of who he thinks will make the cut, and let us know if you agree or disagree in the comments section. To compare how we stack up with other websites, check out: www.bracketmatrix.com
