It’s David Dorman’s turn to put together this week’s Bracket Projections. His notes for the week are located below the bracket…
DAVID’S NOTES ON THE BRACKET:
-NEXT IN LINE: Northwestern, Wake Forest, Mississippi State, Cincinnati, Washington State
-New Mexico State was closer to a #13, but got bumped up a line due to bracketing procedures
-All 7 SEC bids were given out by the end of the #7 line, and that is Arkansas, who I expect to move up in the bracket shortly.
-The Big Ten led the way with 8 bids, with the SEC and Big 12 getting 7 each.
-Memphis ins in trouble and falling quickly. This team had a protected seed in my preseason bracket and is currently right on the cutline.
-The Mountain West has three teams in today’s bracket but was close to only 1 bid. Only Colorado State is safe in my mind as of today.
-I am very surprised with how the Missouri Valley has underperformed. They only have one team in the bracket, and the league collectively disappointed big time in the pre-conference games with plenty of good opportunities.
-The ACC has 6 teams in today, but Virginia and Virginia Tech are also right on the cutline. This season could be a record low number of ACC bids in the last 20 years.
