March 15, 2015 Bracketology

There will be one final bracket posted today after the SMU v.s. UCONN game.  The only possible change now is UCONN will be in with the automatic bid as a 12 seed if they win, Mississippi will be out, and SFA will move up to the final 11 seed.  That is the only potential change I see here today.  I believe Wisconsin is the final #1 seed win or lose.  Also I think Michigan St. is a 7 seed either way today.  The bracket is in place for the committee and trying to move them up a seed line in the final moments even with a contingency plan in place is difficult.  I think having them as a 7 seed is where they belong regardless of the outcome.  Here is the final bracket at this moment until we see how UCONN fairs.  If UCONN does not win there will not be another bracket submitted this will be the final projection.

  *green denotes teams who have earned their conferences automatic bid.

* Red denotes teams who are projected to earn their conferences automatic bid.
 
  The story of the day on Thursday was bubble teams losing.  Essentially every team who had a chance to play their way into the field of 68 lost a game.  That is good news for teams like BYU, Mississippi, Dayton, and Purdue whose places in the tournament appear much safer than they did coming into the day.  The bubble winner today was Indiana.  While every team on the bubble seemed to lose they took care of lowly Northwestern to avoid the same fate of so many other teams.  Now to the bracket:

We head into the middle of the week now with tons of games to come that will ultimately decide the field of 68.  On Tuesday night we didn't see a ton of action, but North Dakota St., Robert Morris, Valparaiso, and Gonzaga were able to lock up their automatic bids.  BYU now will have to wait until Sunday to see if they are in.  As of now I have them as the last team in with all of the major conferences still having to play their tournaments I believe they are in a difficult spot.  Now without further ado the bracket:

* Red denotes projected conference tournament champions.
* Green denotes teams who have earned the automatic bid from their conference.

March 9, 2015 raw data

For those of you who are visiting for the first time this is the data I use to help me decipher teams NCAA profiles.  I use a formula I developed that incorporates all factors the committee uses outside of the eye test.  The eye test is not supposed to be a real factor, but we all know it is so from time to time I will switch up where I think a team will be seeded despite where their profile probably should have them. THIS IS NOT THE BRACKET IT IS POSTED BELOW.
