Dance Partners, Building a Better Bracket. A bracketology presentation by EC Hood
Our final update before Selection Sunday, through games of 3/11/34. Some interesting developments could occur in Sunday’s games. The winner of the Oklahoma State-Kansas State Big 12 title game probably deserves the 3 seed in the East, with the loser 4th in the West. Upset wins for Marquette over UConn and/or Arizona over Oregon would cause bubbles to burst and tears to be shed. I think Louisville holds on to the 1 seed with a loss to Notre Dame but it’s darn close.
The Rules:
- No two teams from the same conference will play each other before the Sweet 16 unless impossible to avoid.
- No at-large teams will be seeded below the 12 line unless impossible to avoid. The play-in at-large teams will always be the last four at-large teams that make it.
- I will tend to give an edge to power conference teams in seeding. This is a personal preference that has more to do with thinking the NET rankings in the game overpower smaller schools and mid majors than anything else.
- This is not a prediction of what the actual bracket will end up being in the game. It is a prediction of what the bracket would be if this season occurred in real life right now and was picked by the NCAA committee.
- I’m not quite the NCAA committee – I’m not going to examine every injury to determine if a result was legit or not and I probably won’t have time to drill down into every team sheet. In the end, this is just for fun.
