Bauertology for Wednesday, Feb. 9 is here! Decided to make a couple changes, including giving the auto-bids in the 13-16 seed range to the current conference leaders, instead of who I think is the best team. I also decided to keep Auburn No. 1 overall in spite of their loss to Arkansas, but I canContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/9/22”

You know it’s getting serious when twice-a-week Bauertology returns! It’s crazy to think how fast March is approaching; conference tournaments are due to begin at the tail end of February. But there’s still plenty of madness to happen between now and then, so don’t expect this bracket to look like the final version at all!Continue reading “Bauertology: 2/4/22”

It’s February. That means the most spectacular month of all is, well, a month away. It also means I should be posting content more often! As per tradition, once the Super Bowl wraps up, it’ll be Bubble Watch season. And you know how much I love writing those! For now, I’m going to try toContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/1/22”

Bauertology for Friday, January 21 is here! There’s been a lot of changes since the last update a couple weeks ago, including a new face at No. 1. I’m experimenting with how to display all the information that I like to include (bracket, true seed list, bubble, bids by conference), so let me know ifContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/21/22”

Ladies and gentlemen, Bauertology is back. It’s finally the new year, and now that we’re more than two months into an already-wild college basketball season, it’s finally time to start analyzing the great puzzle that is the NCAA Tournament bracket. We’ve got plenty of data at our fingertips that we can use to analyze teamsContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/9/22”

It’s time for the final bracket of the year… well, maybe final, depending on what happens in the last few conference championship games on Selection Sunday. Obviously if either Cincinnati or Loyola win their respective finals, they’ll need to be accounted for. But barring any last-minute zaniness, this what the final Bauertology projection looks like.Continue reading “Bauertology: 3/14/21 (Final)”

Today, I’ll be live updating the projected bracket via my Twitter page: @Bauertology. I’ll try to include some live updates on the website here as well, but most of the content is going be over on Twitter for the day. Regardless, we’re just a day removed from Selection Sunday. This is really crunch time. Here’sContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/13/21 (12 PM)”

This is my best bracket of the year. I spent all of last night, from about 1:30 to 5:45, reviewing every at-large résumé side-by-side. It was a long, tedious process, but it was all worth it in the name of bracketology. This is the most confident I have felt in a bracket all season. SoContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/11/21”

One extremely minute change for today’s bracket from yesterday: Mount St. Mary’s winning the NEC automatic bid instead of Bryant shuffles around the 16 seeds on the true seed list and in the bracket. That’s about it. Congratulations to five more teams that locked up auto-bids on Tuesday: Cleveland State (Horizon League), Drexel (CAA), GonzagaContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/10/21”

No need for a big introduction this time. Bauertology content is now coming out every day until Selection Sunday. Four more auto-bids lock spots into the field: Loyola Chicago (Missouri Valley), Winthrop (Big South), UNC Greensboro (SoCon) and Appalachian State (Sun Belt). There are also a few new faces in the field due to topContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/9/21”
