Bauertology: 1/23/23

Bracketology can be a mess. You’ll find that to be the case in this edition of Bauertology, which was, from top to bottom, the most difficult version yet to accurately sort, select, seed, and shove into the bracket. At least I feel confident in my top four seed lines; those selections all seem pretty rockContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/23/23”

Bauertology: 1/20/23

So, who’s actually good in college basketball? Since the last bracket I posted on Monday—a mere four days ago—five of my top 10 teams were defeated. Kansas, the team I once claimed had the undisputed best résumé in the land, no longer sits on that throne. UConn, a team that once looked like a shoe-inContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/20/23”

Introducing BRCT: A Bracketologist’s Best Friend

Bracketology is a difficult process. Let’s make it a little less difficult. Today, I reveal one of the secrets behind the Bauertology bracket creation process—the holy grail of bracketology analysis: the Bauertology Résumé Counting Tool. (Or BRCT, pronounced like “bracket,” for short.) It’s a pretty poorly-kept secret, as I’ve mentioned this tool a handful ofContinue reading “Introducing BRCT: A Bracketologist’s Best Friend”

Bauertology: 1/16/23

That was a pretty wacky weekend, huh? A Saturday that started off with floundering Kentucky going to Knoxville and knocking off No. 5 Tennessee (much to the chagrin of those ready to call the Wildcats dead) began a cascade of ranked teams losing, with 11 in total falling—tying the record for the most in aContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/16/23”

Bauertology: 1/13/23

You know college basketball is starting to get really good when twice-a-week Bauertology returns! I’ve had a little bit of free time on my hands since I’ve been stuck at home sick for the past week or so, so why not spend it making some brackets? And I think this one is probably my mostContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/13/23”

Bauertology: 1/9/23

Welcome to 2023! The college basketball season is getting better and better by the day, as we’re now in the thick of conference play. This means two things—1) teams can win or lose against familiar opponents on any given night, and 2) an actual sort of structure to bracketology is beginning to take shape. We’veContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/9/23”

Bauertology: 12/25/22

Merry Christmas, everybody! With just a week to go until 2023, this will be the final bracket projection of 2022. Most tournament-level teams are wrapping up their non-conference slates and preparing to dive into conference play at the turn of the new year. Meanwhile, the NET rankings and résumé numbers are still fairly fresh andContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/25/22”

Bauertology: 12/13/22

Let’s get into one more early-season Bauertology before teams start diving head-first into conference play later this month. Well, a couple teams have already played some conference games, perhaps most notably in the Big Ten where upsets have already been plentiful (that’s why we love this sport!), but for the most part, teams are workingContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/13/22”

Bauertology: 11/28/22

I suppose it’s time we put pen to paper, huh? The 2022-23 college basketball season has been in full swing for nearly a month, and I still haven’t posted anything to the Bauertology blog since last March… blame it on me being busy with work, or being sick the last week, or just general laziness…Continue reading “Bauertology: 11/28/22”
