The new year is quickly approaching! Needless to say, 2020 hasn’t been the best year for everyone. But we have already seen plenty of exciting results through a month of play. Hopefully that indicates an exciting rest of the season! With this being the final bracket projection of 2020, it’ll probably also be the lastContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/27/20”

Bauertology Top 25: Week 5
The season only continues to get more ridiculous. In total, 10 of last Monday’s Bauertology Top 25 teams lost a game, with every single team ranked Nos. 12-17 falling in that category. College basketball is often unpredictable, a refreshing reprieve from the constant rote monotony that the College Football Playoff churns out every single year.Continue reading “Bauertology Top 25: Week 5”
Bauertology: 12/20/20
Happy holidays! Let’s celebrate the season of giving with some Sunday morning Bauertology. This projection comes a day after a wild Saturday with some of the most exciting college basketball we’ve seen this season. There aren’t many major changes to the bracket so far, but those changes will begin to take place when we removeContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/20/20”
Bauertology Top 25: Week 4
You know the college basketball season has been wacky none of Duke, Kentucky or North Carolina appear in my top 25 poll. The former two were easy exclusions for me, as they’ve both played underwhelming basketball through the first three weeks. North Carolina was tougher to leave out, but after losing to Iowa by 13Continue reading “Bauertology Top 25: Week 4”
Bauertology: 12/13/20
Another Sunday, another Bauertology! Since the season is still in its early stages, there aren’t that many changes from last week, but there are two notable differences. Kentucky, now 1-4, drops from a projected No. 5 seed to a projected No. 9 seed. I do think this team will figure it out eventually, but forContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/13/20”
Bauertology Top 25: Week 3
It’s a little later than usual, but the Bauertology Top 25 is here for Week 3! This week, we saw wild upsets (Kentucky losing to previously 0-2 Georgia Tech by 17), gutsy performances (Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs’ return from injury against West Virginia) and insane buzzer beaters (Marquette’s tip-in against Wisconsin). We’re less than a monthContinue reading “Bauertology Top 25: Week 3”
Bauertology: 12/6/20
We may have been deprived of an all-time great matchup between Gonzaga and Baylor yesterday because of COVID-19 concerns, but we can make up for a little bit of that magic with a new Bauertology bracket projection. As I mentioned last week, these projections will still factor in preseason expectations, and they will continue toContinue reading “Bauertology: 12/6/20”
Bauertology Top 25: Week 2
You’ll learn quickly that my rankings aren’t exactly what you’ll find on the AP Poll. Whereas preseason expectations and poll inertia allow teams that have underperformed to hang around in the AP Top 25, my rankings take one thing into account: results. The 25 teams listed below are here because they’ve played the best basketballContinue reading “Bauertology Top 25: Week 2”
Bauertology: 11/29/20
Four days of the college basketball season have passed. We’ve already seen thrills, upsets, tight finishes and all of the madness that makes college basketball special. It’s still very early in the season, but here’s the second Bauertology bracket projection, accounting for the results we’ve seen so far. As a side note, this bracket projectionContinue reading “Bauertology: 11/29/20”
Bauertology: 11/25/20
With the start of the college basketball season comes the first Bauertology of the year! Of course, coming up with the full seed list and true seed lists was tricky, since it’s the preseason and we have no idea how good any of these teams will actually be this season, but maybe the most uniqueContinue reading “Bauertology: 11/25/20”
