SATURDAY UPDATES Tight time constraints today on additional thoughts and overall bracketing, but the full evaluation lasted all night and morning to get to this Field of 68. Here is the situation as I see it for Today’s Bubble. N.C. State and Oregon win today would knock St. John's and Virginia to the NIT (in that order, should just one win). Wins by UNC, Colorado, and FAU Twice (Today and Sunday) will keep these two in and get Indiana State into the field, per today's forecast.#Bracketology https://t.co/Wse1RRxHYe — Rocco Miller (@RoccoMiller8) March 16, 2024 BRACKET Bracket projections ar ..read more

Greetings all, it was a very late night and early morning getting evaluations and bracketing prepared. A busy Friday is ahead, and still a lot at stake within the bubble picture. Likely four spots are available for seven teams as it stands: Indiana State, Mississippi State, New Mexico, Pittsburgh, Seton Hall, St. John’s, and Texas A&M. Deeper analysis is required, but also five of these seven are still playing. I will be on Today’s Fielding The 68 Episode at 5:30PM ET/2:30 PM PT to go into deep detail on a lot of the forecast.

One Final Week - Five Days to Go March Madness is so close that one could smell it at this stage of the campaign and that means not a lot can impact any given team’s body of work. However, there is just enough room for games this week to impact certain bubble teams - both positively and negatively. Most of the decisions and what is at stake this week were shared on FIELDING THE 68 yesterday. You can find the full episode here: BRACKET Bracket projections are based on the 2023-24 NCAA Committee Principles and Selection Process.

MOCK COMMITTEE RECAP A tremendous annual experience is to participate in Mock Selection Committees. Understanding selection committee dynamics is ridiculously difficult and likely impossible without ever being in one. The process, policies, and procedures are available as public info and one can digest that and build a bracket accordingly. However, the way selections are made doesn’t work that simply for the committee and it is why some people struggle with being accurate on the final bracket. For the third year, we joined together to do this with Stadium’s Tim Krueger. Tim is based in Omaha a ..read more

MID-WEEK SUMMARY An eventful week for a variety of reasons. The naked eye would unlikely be able to catch the reasons for bubble shifting as an example. Also, a top-seed shift with Houston inching closer to the top. -Much to my surprise, there was enough evidence in the several comparisons to feel that Houston has earned the second overall spot on the seed list slightly over UConn. You can argue both teams for a variety of reasons. The Cougars got the nod due to more overall wins (8) against NCAA competition and high-end road wins over BYU, Baylor, and Texas all look stronger than Monday. UCo ..read more

TOP SEEDS The week saw some notable results with both UConn and Arizona falling, but each bounced back into form over the weekend. The Kentucky Wildcats were the biggest story with an unstoppable 117-95 win over Alabama. The win knocked Alabama into a first-place SEC tie with Tennessee. For Kentucky, it served as a statement win coming off a road loss to LSU. Kentucky’s exact placement is somewhat of a guess considering they were a forecasted 7-seed on the morning of the CBS Bracket Preview. Since then, two massive needle-movers occurred. The win at Auburn in convincing fashion and the high-oc ..read more

MID-WEEK REVIEW A busy mid-week came and went, and now we are on the cusp of another loaded landscape of games across College Hoops. The significant results from the past week within the at-large pool: Creighton’s convincing home win over UConn gave them a second high-end Q1A victory and placed the Jays comfortably into protected seed status after the likes of Illinois, Wisconsin, and San Diego State have all stumbled since the February 17th Bracket Preview presented by the selection committee. Washington State rocked the Western world with the best road win money can buy in the West, at A ..read more
