Now that the Steelers season is in the books (I’m still working on my Season Wrap-Up post but you can enjoy my GIF-cap of the season along with all the game recaps I’ve done in the mean time), I’m starting to move into off-season mode. While I’ll be delving into draft research and analyzing the Steelers Salary Cap situation, I’ll also be switching gears a bit into the realm of College Basketball Bracketology. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I stack up decently well against the Experts in The Bracket Matrix. ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has topped my predictions the last few years and I begrudgingly admit that his bracket predictions are reasonably solid. Though I’ve written extensively on the problems with Lunardi as well. That said, I have routinely trounced CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm. Bracketology is both an art and a science – it’s the ability to look at the resumes of 70+ teams and decide which teams should be “in” and “out” of the field, not based on what I think, but based on the historical trends of the Selection Committee. Predicting what the Committee will do is often a difficult venture (see: UCLA last year) but that’s the fun and the challenge. I’ll be updating my bracket projection at least once a week from here until Selection Sunday and including some analytical posts delving deeper into the science of Bracketology.
For now, here is my FIRST BRACKET PROJECTION of the 2015-2016 College Basketball Season.
