Bracketology 2018: March Madness Predictions (Version 6)

We are only 5 weeks away from Selection Sunday as we begin to make our NCAA tourney predictions. Last March HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel correctly picked every single 1 of the 68 teams that made the tourney, 63 of which were within 1 spot of their actual seed, including 43 right on the money. He will spend the upcoming weeks predicting which 68 teams will hear their names called on March 11th. See below for his list of who would make the cut if they picked the field today and if you agree or disagree then feel free to tweet us. To see how we stack up with other websites (ranked 4th out of 113 entries over the past 5 years), check out: www.bracketmatrix.com

  2. Chris Gulley says:

    Why would you ship Cincinnati all the way out west? No way they’re the lowest 3 seed.

    • John Stalica says:

      Oklahoma and Texas Tech can’t be in the West because of Kansas; Michigan State was higher in the seed list and ended up getting shipped East. That being said, that’s not a bad draw for Cincy, either.
