The bracketology scene

Posted on by

We’re getting down to the final week-plus of the season and Matt Snyder, the Calvin basketball fan, blogger and budding bracketologist has posted a take on the men’s basketball Field of 61.

Projecting a bracket with only one automatic bid in the books is hardly an easy process, especially considering there are 40 conferences to define champions for. Pick regular season champs, pick teams higher in the regional rankings. Or in their case, pick whoever is highest in the RPI.

No perfect way to do it.

Here’s their take. It’s a little hard to picture the CSAC getting three teams in the field over a second team from the UAA, but no projection is perfect. At least, not many are. Matt has done a good job projecting regional rankings and knows the strength of schedule formula better than the committee.
