I have been doing my own bracket projections for over 10 years now and I have decided to start posting them here on a blog. I know there are other "bracketologies" out there but if you are looking for another opinion on where your team(s) stands take a look at my "bracketology". It is just a hobby of mine, but I try to give each team as strong as consideration as possible. I update my projections after games through each Sunday. Normally, I begin making projections in early to mid January. I will continue to post them each week and feel free to leave me some feedback. Tell me why I am crazy for leaving teams out, where I have teams seeded, or why I have certain teams in the field of 65. Or if you have any questions I would love to answer them. I base my projections using as close to the NCAA Selection Committee's process as possible. Factoring into these projections are a combination of RPI, SOS, W/L Record, W/L vs RPI Top 50, conference strength, road/neutral court W/L, last 10 games, quality wins, and bad losses. Below is my bracket through games of Sunday, February 11th.
