Week #13 Field of 64 Projections & Bubble Watch
The second installment of our Field of 64 projections are here! We have just 18 days to go before the bracket is decided, and of course Regionals will be just around the corner after that. Bear in mind that two teams from the same conference cannot be grouped into the same regional, and there are some stipulations with how the #1-32 ranked teams are seeded. Teams in the #29-32 range will be placed into regionals with teams that are ranked #1-4, #25-28 going with #5-8 and so on. This is never an easy exercise, but I’m thinking I will still do one or two more in addition to this before the field is decided nonetheless. Enjoy, and if you think I am egregiously wrong then let me hear it!
