Bauertology on a Wednesday! That can only mean one thing: it’s February. The time for mid-week Bauertology has come. February is always an exciting month, as it’s often the start of Bubble Watch season—you’ll see that on this blog on Monday—as well as the time that not just bracketologists but every college basketball starts toContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/3/21”

More Bauertology on Saturday? Isn’t this a Sunday tradition? Well, considering today’s absolutely loaded slate of games, I thought it appropriate to celebrate one of the best basketball Saturdays we’ve had in a while with some postseason projecting. Plus, I’m still working out when’s the best mid-week day to do Bauertology when the twice-a-week projectionsContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/30/21”

Bauertology is a day early! That’s simply because this Saturday night is going to extremely busy for me, and I don’t anticipate I’ll have the strength (or patience) to build a bracket tonight. So that’s why the new bracket is being posted today. That said, we’re only a few weeks away now from the fabledContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/23/21”

Bracketology just got a lot easier. And a lot harder. With the special status of the 2021 NCAA Tournament being held entirely in Indianapolis in order to mitigate the further spread of COVID-19, bracketolgy in 2021 seemed like a bit of a crapshoot. With no first-round sites or regional locations to put teams into pods,Continue reading “Bauertology: 1/17/21”

The introduction of this season’s NET rankings adds an interesting element to bracketology, as well as a number of questions. Of course, one of the most obvious questions is how much the selection committee will rely on the NET rankings when building the bracket. In years past, it seems like they used it as aContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/10/21”

The new year is here! As promised, Bauertology is going to look radically different from what we’ve seen in past projections. Whereas previous brackets took both results and expectations into effect, all brackets in the new year have removed those expectations, with focus now solely on results. After all, the selection committee doesn’t factor inContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/3/21”

The new year is quickly approaching! Needless to say, 2020 hasn’t been the best year for everyone. But we have already seen plenty of exciting results through a month of play. Hopefully that indicates an exciting rest of the season! With this being the final bracket projection of 2020, it’ll probably also be the lastContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/27/20”

Happy holidays! Let’s celebrate the season of giving with some Sunday morning Bauertology. This projection comes a day after a wild Saturday with some of the most exciting college basketball we’ve seen this season. There aren’t many major changes to the bracket so far, but those changes will begin to take place when we removeContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/20/20”

Another Sunday, another Bauertology! Since the season is still in its early stages, there aren’t that many changes from last week, but there are two notable differences. Kentucky, now 1-4, drops from a projected No. 5 seed to a projected No. 9 seed. I do think this team will figure it out eventually, but forContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/13/20”

We may have been deprived of an all-time great matchup between Gonzaga and Baylor yesterday because of COVID-19 concerns, but we can make up for a little bit of that magic with a new Bauertology bracket projection. As I mentioned last week, these projections will still factor in preseason expectations, and they will continue toContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/6/20”
