Bauertology: 3/15/26 (FINAL)
Y’all ready? The Selection Show is under half an hour away. We will soon learn which 68 teams will be selected to participate in the NCAA Tournament. For the first time in a long time, I feel pretty darn good about which 68 are in. It was just last year that I was pulling my…
Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/14/26
Well, look who decided to make good on his promise for once. For years, I have tried and tried to get out a final final edition of Bauer’s Bubble Watch immediately preceding Selection Sunday, since there are so many things that can change in the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday before the big reveal due to…
Bauertology: 3/12/26
Aha! Surprised ya, didn’t I? A new Bauertology bracket and seed list on a Thursday instead of a Friday—practically unheard of! Well, there’s a reason: I’m hardly going to have any time for bracket-building today, as my real world job may require me to work for about 14 hours straight. Plus, it seems a bit…
Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/11/26
This is our last dance. It’s the Wednesday before Selection Sunday, and that means that the final full Bauer’s Bubble Watch of 2026 is here at last. The selection committee is now convening in Indianapolis, and over the next four days and change, they will be tasked with selecting the 68 teams that will comprise…
Bauertology: 3/9/26
Regular season? I hardly know ‘er! From here on out, it’s nothing but postseason, baby. Five conference tournaments have already crowned a champion. Twenty-six more need to do so between right now and the unveiling of the final 68-team field at 4 p.m. MT on Sunday, March 15. Savor these precious finals days; they’ll fly…
Bauertology: 3/6/26
Welcome to the final weekend of the regular season, y’all. Selection Sunday is just nine—yes, nine—days away. It is truly the homestretch out here on the bracketology front. Most of the field, pending automatic bids, is already established. Only a couple big swings in results from here on out can really shake up the way…
Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/4/26
March, March, March. What a double-edged sword in the world of bracketology you are. I’ve gone on record plenty of times before stating that March is my favorite month of all. Between the warmer weather, the seasonal treats, and the nonstop flood of amazing college basketball, there isn’t a better chunk of 31 days that…
Bauertology: 3/2/26
Could someone remind me what month it is? This is March, the single greatest month of the entire year, where the college basketball season reaches its climax. Conference tournaments, Bubble Watches, bid thieves, Selection Sunday, March Madness, brackets, upsets, comebacks, buzzer beaters—inject it all into my veins immediately, please and thank you! I even got…
Bauertology: 2/27/26
Are we sure we need 68 teams? Like, really, really sure? In recent years, it’s become quite commonplace for bracketologists and fans alike to lament the quality of teams situated on or near the bubble, especially as March approaches. Whether it be poor metrics, unsightly quadrant splits, repeated inability to win big games or on…
Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/25/26
Oh, the dreaded third edition of Bauer’s Bubble Watch. We’ve come to meet yet again. The reason I say “dreaded” is because the week before the start of March is typically where Bubble Watch stagnates. At this point in the year, the early locks are already accounted for, the bubble remains a mess, and the…
