Some administrative info

First things first, expect a new bracket Monday or Tuesday.  It's about time to revisit the preseason bracket and adjust as necessary.

Now, the blog schedule for the rest of the year.  This blog will feature a bubble watch, which is somewhat typical of the type of long articles the big websites do.  However, all those sites feature one long article.

Here at bracketball, we are going to have a Bubble Watch article EVERY DAY.  Starting in January, there will be daily Bubble Watch updates.  Each daily update will cover different conferences, however.  We will cover all 32 conferences every 7 days, using the following schedule

Monday:  ACC, B1G
Tuesday:  SEC, Big 12
Wednesday:  Pac-12, Mountain West
Thursday:  Big East, AAC
Friday:  A-10, MVC, WCC
Mid-major Saturday:  MAC, Horizon, MAAC, CUSA, OVC, Sun Belt, Colonial
Low-major Sunday:  Coverage of the 14 other conferences (Ivy, Summit, Patriot, Big Sky, SoCon, A-Sun, Big West, Northeast, A-East, Big South, MEAC, Southland, WAC, SWAC)

Expect recaps for teams in those conferences on those days.  They will start roughly when conference play starts in early January in most leagues.

For December, what I hope to accomplish is a lot of legwork on non-conference schedules, and hitting a lot of other miscellaneous topics.  All this information to get you ready for the bubble talk in February and March.

And hopefully I'll be able to do a better job than the people who get paid to do this.  Most writers out there have to cover the sport as a whole.  I'll be focusing on resumes though.  No talk about all the freshmen here, or the POY race or the off-court topics.  We will stick with the results and the analysis of the results here.

So enjoy the daily recaps (which I'm hoping gives a quick one-stop shop of relevant scores that you need every day), and prepare your bodies for more substance as we go forward.
