And so the countdown begins. We are 22 days out from Selection Sunday and 26 days out from the first NCAA Tournament action since 2019. Boy, does it feel good to be back. As we enter the homestretch, brackets may become more frequent (I’m thinking three a week once we’re in March), and differences betweenContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/20/21”

This is the first Bauertology bracket to be released since the selection committee’s top 16 preview show on Saturday, so many of the changes you will see in today’s projection are reflections of what we learned from the reveal. The changes at the top are reflective of the committee’s top 16 teams (adjusted for theContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/17/21”

Today is a huge day for all bracketologists. At 12:30 PM, the selection committee will announce its preliminary top 16 teams. While this will show everybody who the committee believes the top 16 teams are, the reveal will give bracketologists key information as to what they’re looking at résumé-wise this season. For example, if MissouriContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/13/21”

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for another mid-week Bauertology. Just a reminder the post schedule for February goes as follows: Bubble Watch on Monday, Bauertology on Wednesday, Bauertology on Saturday. We’re getting closer and closer to Selection Sunday, so it’ll be interesting to see how these selections change in a month’s time. But for now,Continue reading “Bauertology: 2/10/21”

Happy Saturday! It’s the weekend, so it’s time for an update to Bauertology. Side note: Since I’m going to be doing Bauertology twice a week (and bubble watch on Monday, first one coming in two days), these introductions are probably going to be a lot shorter since I’ll just have less to say each time.Continue reading “Bauertology: 2/6/21”

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”
