Bracketology: January 26th
Bracketology: January 26th
This is the week marks the tipping point when the weekly Bracketology slowly begins to morph into a Daily Field of 65. Expect updates every 2-3 days for the next 2 weeks before the daily updates begin. The Bracketology field is based on how the tourney looks "as of this moment." Arrows indicate a team that moved up or down based on last week's performance. (Just because a team won or lost doesn't necessarily mean they'll move substantially though.)
Why should you care what I have to say? Did you know, last year I was considered to have one of the Top 2 or 3 brackets (depending on the scoring rubric) amongst 53 national experts including Joe Lunardi, Gary Parrish and the like).
Movement:
Arrows indicate movement by seed. Two arrows equals a change of two seeds, etc..
