The following bracket takes into account all the games played BEFORE Nov 29th, and none on the day of.
I also want to be sure everyone knows what they are looking at. I am not trying to guess what the field will look like in March, nor am I selecting and seeding teams based on how good I think they actually. I am simply trying to put together a CHECKPOINT of CURRENT MERIT. For instance, I believe UConn (despite the rough weekend) to a solid tournament team, and that Houston will end up as a protected seed. But based on what those teams have done so far, neither team is in the field.
OTHERS CONSIDERED: Houston, Iowa, Nevada, Louisiana Tech, Arizona, Northwestern, Davidson, Cincinnati
COMMENTS FROM DAVID:
-We’ve played half a football season! So, the bracket is starting to make some sort of sense in regards to the selections and seedings. Pretty much all of the current protected seeds have gone out and won big games away from home, which is what sets them apart from…say…Houston, who hasn’t won any games away from home and isn’t even in the field.
-Louisville and West Virginia have both had big weeks in the Battle 4 Atlantis where they picked up notable wins. It’s also hard to ignore teams like Boston College and Colorado, who we weren’t all that big on coming into the season, but who also picked up notable wins in their in-season tournaments.
-And, if you notice any blatant mistakes, it’s because I’m still in a food coma.
