Bracketology 12/6

Remember, he is projecting the field based upon results as of today. He is not making projections of where he sees these teams finishing up.

While that's probably what he states, I don't think that's true. Case in point, look at a team like Michigan. Most people rightfully think they are an NCAA team, however, if you look at their results so far, they are 6-4 with no Top 100 wins (Florida State at 104 and he has them in as well), a suspect loss to Charlotte (RPI 142) and their current RPI is 132! They haven't beaten anyone. Of course, they will probably get some big wins during Big Ten play but their resume is crap as of today.

yeah, same frankly could be said about Marquette. while no bad losses, only 1 decent top 200 win- and a RPI of 88. Michigan's RPI is 139. I think a lot of it is where he sees these teams finishing up.

Butler fans getting indignant about this stuff is starting to get embarrassing. That kind of happens when you have no good wins and project to the bottom half of your conference...

Four in:
Creighton (8)
Georgetown (9)
Marquette (12)
Nova (3...k...)

Joe continues with his anti-Butler agenda.

Considering I am sitting on four tickets to the Raleigh regional, I would love to see this bracket happen. I haven't seen a 'Nova game live since they last came to Chapel Hills for the old Big East / ACC Challenge.

Good point...

I'm just happy to see Xavier back in the mix after that disastrous tournament.

Where can you find projected RPI at this time of year? Cincinnati, for example, I don't think will end up at #106.

Jerry Palm's bracket looks a lot different right now, and in a lot of ways I wouldn't agree with:
