For the first time in a long time, there’s a new face at the top. For the last year and some change (excepting post-championship Baylor), Gonzaga has been the undisputed king of the college basketball polls, sitting on the throne at the top of the rankings basically every single week. But with the Bulldogs’ lossContinue reading “Bauertology Top 25: Week 4”

Bauertology Top 25: Week 3
Let me introduce you to the wonderful stat of the G-Score. The G-Score, or, in the long form, the Game Score, is an analytic devised the by the great Bart Torvik, whose T-Rank site is an invaluable resource for any college hoops junkie.

Bauertology Top 25: Week 2
Are you ready for some strange rankings? My early-season rankings are a bit bizarre—they always have been and always will be. That’s because I completely throw my preseason rankings and expectations out the window and focus purely on what we’ve seen on the court so far. After all, that’s how we’re going to be rankingContinue reading “Bauertology Top 25: Week 2”
Bauertology Top 25: Preseason
College basketball is back. Did you miss it? I know I did. The offseason always feels like it takes too long—seven months of sitting and waiting until I can relish once again in the wild finishes, unpredictable upsets, and all-around madness that makes college hoops so special. Those things, and the unrivaled thrill that coursesContinue reading “Bauertology Top 25: Preseason”
Bauertology: 3/14/21 (Final)
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)”

Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/13/21
This is the final Bauer’s Bubble Watch of the season. It’s bittersweet, isn’t it? It feels like just yesterday that we began monitoring our bubbly buddies and hypothesizing their NCAA Tournament odds. But the big payoff is finally just around the corner. Selection Sunday—the great day of judgment—is tomorrow. All of our obsessing over theContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/13/21”
Bauertology: 3/11/21
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”
Bauertology: 3/10/21
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”
