It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for another mid-week Bauertology. Just a reminder the post schedule for February goes as follows: Bubble Watch on Monday, Bauertology on Wednesday, Bauertology on Saturday.
We’re getting closer and closer to Selection Sunday, so it’ll be interesting to see how these selections change in a month’s time. But for now, here’s the projection for Wednesday, Feb. 10.
