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”

Bauertology: 1/22/24
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 Time to Abolish the BPI
Longtime followers of Bauertology should know that the week after Super Bowl Sunday is a very special time of year for the Bauertology blog, as that’s when the weekly Bauer’s Bubble Watch series makes its grand reappearance. These pieces are always my favorite to write—a deep dive into every team vying for the NCAA Tournament’sContinue reading “It’s Time to Abolish the BPI”
Bauertology: 1/16/24
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”
Bauertology: 1/12/24
It’s been a minute, huh? A minute, or ten months, which is the last time I made an official post on this blog—that, of course, being my final NCAA Tournament projection for 2023. Well, I think ten months absent is long enough. The 2023-24 Division I college basketball season is already well underway with conferenceContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/12/24”
Bauertology: 3/12/23 (FINAL)
It’s been a fun, ride, folks. The big day is finally here, and very shortly, the payoff for months of college basketball watching and résumé analysis will be here. Did we do a good job? Were we way off the mark? We’ll find out soon enough. No more words need be said—here’s the final BauertologyContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/12/23 (FINAL)”
Bauertology: 3/11/23
T-minus one day until we have a bracket. Get excited, people! Not going to spend much time on introductions today, since I got my big full scrub out of the way yesterday, and last night’s outcomes only resulted in a handful of minor seeding/location changes. If the committee continues last year’s trend of not takingContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/11/23”
Bauertology: 3/10/23
In about 50 hours, we will have a bracket. The end of the road is coming, folks. The selection committee has already started its deliberations, selecting and seeding teams day by day, and will only make minor changes from here on out. With that all occurring, I had to be as thorough as I possiblyContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/10/23”
Bauertology: 3/7/23
Less than a week to go until the bracket is revealed. That means it’s time for daily Bauertology! As the results of champ week pour in, I’ll be posting a new update every morning until Selection Sunday. These explanations will be a bit more expedited, but still feel free to comment your questions! Also rememberContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/7/23”
Bauertology: 3/4/23
The end of days is approaching. Not the apocalypse, of course, but Selection Sunday, now just a week and a day away. Kind of hard to believe, isn’t it? With the selection committee set to meet next week in order to start building its bracket, the group of teams that will be selected to playContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/4/23”
