Bracket PRESEASON

A more full post will follow tomorrow, but for one night, let's just absorb this seed list, shall we?

Things to remember:  I normally megaloathe preseason brackets.  I'm not a big fan.  I prefer to use actual information instead of conjecture, although I do have to use conjecture for the first month or so anyways.  So don't read much of anything into where I have a particular team.  It doesn't matter.

What DOES matter is the number of bids per conference.  This is indicative of what I think the strength of each conference is.  Look for trends, not for specific seeds of specific teams.

Season tomorrow.  Bracket tomorrow.  Seed list NOW.
