Yep, your right, that is crappy

Thank you.

Also, here is the bracket matrix for the 2013 season. He currently has ISU as a 12 seed.

Agree. This is a worse pile of crap than the beer **** I took roughly 2 hours ago.

Actually, not that bad. But, if I may be an Iowa homer for just a second (stepping out of character here), I'd replace Wisconsin with Iowa. I don't think Iowa is NCAA ready yet (prove it first), but if Iowa isn't, no way UW is.

I wouldn't call it "crappy." Compiling a field (especially in early January) is an inexact task. Any list is open to scrutiny.

Only thing I might suggest -- move the "maybes" into a separate chunk at the end — a bubble list or "work to do." Removes the Indecision aspect, and simpler to digest.

Looks pretty good at a glance.

I do think if BYU is in, ISU is in (not just because of head-to-head). And I have OU in (resume is better than I realized).

(Note: A couple teams you have "in" and also on bubble --Colorado State & Charlotte, just fyi)

(also -- sorry about all these notes! :smile: -- I don't think Great West gets an auto-bid again this year -- not sure if that changes next s)

Joe Lunardi tweeted this morning that he has 6 Big XII teams in his upcoming bracket. Last week he had 5, I'm almost positive that we'll be the 6th.

Definitely.

I assume he'll have Iowa State in a play-in. I could see being advanced past the Intro Round, actually.

Most of it looks feasible, as far as contenders.

Only quibbles as far as inclusion: I would drop Evansville and Oregon State from bubble watch, for the time being. (Not sure about best replacements, but Iowa might be among them)

Iowa is not in it so it must not be too bad...

I currently have 61 teams out of 68 in as of this moment. There are 7 spots open for at least 23 Bubble teams. Now not all bubble teams are equal, but that is how many I currently see right now. I also took out Connecticut because I forgot they are banned from post season play this year. I think ISU will eventually get in, but two wins against West Virginia and TCU are not marquee wins.
