Bracketology

With Selection Sunday only 9 days away, it is now or never if you are on that bubble. It is that time of year when you are really talking about all the different seeds and who's in and who's out. Some parts in my bracketology might get you wondering.
Last 4 In First 4 Out
Nebraska Boston College
Alabama Michigan
St. Mary's Clemson
Colorado Wichita State
1# Seeds
Team Region Conference
Kansas East Big 12
Duke Southwest ACC
Pitt Southeast Big East
Purdue West Big 10
As you can see, I don't think that the ACC is that strong beyond UNC and Duke. The most underrated conference in America is the Big 12. There is a lot of chaos each week and Nebraska and Colorado have caused a whole bunch of it. I think my #1 seeds were predictable except Purdue. If you look at it closely, they are 1 game behind Ohio State and they split the season series. If Ohio State slips, they get a share of the Big 10 regular season conference championship. They are the hottest team in college basketball even over St. John's. If it plays out like I have it doing, no regions will affect a team. Now some teams only hope is their conference tournament. With only one more Saturday left in the regular season, there are still lots of questions. Which team can get over the hump? Will Brandon Davies effect BYU that bad? It all comes down to the NCAA Committee.
