Well, that weekend was something, huh? I’m not speaking about the always relentless Saturday schedule that seems to deliver every single weekend (though that was great, too). Of course, I’m talking about the selection committee’s top 16 preview that we bracketologists covet so much. And, as per usual, the preview show seemed to raise justContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/19/24”

Well, the new Bauertology schedule is off to a swimming start. You may recall in the most recent Bauertology bracket from Monday that I stated I would be posting new Bauer’s Bubble Watch articles every Wednesday, starting this week, and new Bauertology brackets every Friday. Neither of those things happened. Part of it is meContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/17/24”

Saturday can’t come soon enough. And not just because Saturdays are the marquee day of the week when it comes to relentless slates of all-out college hoop-dom. (Though, that too). Astute observers of the calendar may realize that this coming Saturday is the first Saturday after the Super Bowl, and that means that the selectionContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/12/24”

Surprise! Yep, I was almost certain that I wasn’t going to be able to put together a second Bauertology bracket this week with how busy my work schedule is, but I somehow found time to squeeze in another projection. And there’s a lot of fun to be had in this one. For the first timeContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/9/24”

The countdown is on, people. We are now less than a month away from the start of conference tournament play, which kicks off with the ASUN on March 4. Hope that sends a shiver down your spine! Yes, the march of time is unbeaten, and March Madness will arrive much sooner than you expect. ButContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/5/24”

Sometimes, all it takes is one win to change a season. Look no further than the Florida Gators, who, after having spent just about the entire month of January outside the bracket with their grand Quad 1 win total of zero, now rocket all the way up to a 9-seed in today’s projection. That’s theContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/2/24”

When was the last time that bracketologists felt this confident about the 1-seeds at this stage in the season? Not just confidence in who the 1-seeds are, but confidence that the 1-seeds are all incredible basketball teams, a cut above the rest of the field, all quite easy to picture as the sole survivor cuttingContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/30/24”

What’s going to matter most for NCAA Tournament selection and seeding this go-around in 2024? This, of course, is the age-old question that bracketologists look to answer every year, and your answer will tend to vary depending on the makeup of the selection committee and what those individuals value. We won’t know for certain whichContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/27/24”

Thanks the heavens that Selection Sunday isn’t tomorrow. That’s not just because we’re still hungry for more fun, competitive conference play night in and night out, making days like this past Saturday’s college hoops bonanza the days worth living for, but for bracketology purposes as well. Because we’re just throwing darts at the wall rightContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/22/24”

It’s a volatile time of year, and a lot can change in the seed list very quickly. Take, for example, TCU. Just four days ago, the Horned Frogs weren’t even in my projected tournament field, placed as the seventh team out. Now, you throw a win over 1-seed Houston on their team sheet, and suddenlyContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/16/24”
