1) The Pac-12 is in real, real trouble. Their computer numbers are even more terrible than I thought. I'm giving them 2 back-end spots thinking they'll eventually get there, but man. It's going to be a chore just to get a 2nd team in.
2) I'm going there with the SoCon for now. There should be enough quality win chances between the top 4 to create an at-large environment for someone.
3) Big 10 is going to put 10 teams in, and you're all going to have to deal with it.
4) This feels like the low end for projections for the ACC, with 8 teams in.
Reminder: I take conference leaders (ties broken by NET). This means there's a few messed up situations:
- Sorry, North Texas. UTSA's got you for now
- Boise leads the Mountain West. Nevada is in as an at-large team this time around
- Detroit Mercy over NKU feels violently wrong, as does Valpo over Loyola and UMKC over NMSU. Horizon, WAC, and MVC lose multiple seed lines as a result.

Why not just put in who you think is the best team from each of the smaller conferences. No need to just only put in the league leader especially in a tie.
I am back into basketball full time again after the end of a long fantasy football season that did not end up with me winning any huge prize this year. I did 110 teams won 18 championships but no big scores. I was keeping an eye on college basketball when I could but hard when running so many teams.
So the NET will be interesting to see how the committee uses it for the teams.
I hope they do another Feb top 16 bracket so we get a sneak peak at how they use the NET.
Good to be back.
No update since the 14th ?
The posting every day thing is probably behind us. Until late February when I'll have to update daily, I likely won't be.
