Bracket Watch: Latest Projections for the Entire Field of 68
Selection Sunday is approaching fast, and as the major conference tournaments enter full swing our projection of the field of 68 is gradually gaining clarity. The in-or-out intrigue is reserved for the Bubble Watch, which we will be updating daily during Championship Week. The Bracket Watch, which we’ll also be updating daily, is focused on the seeding discussion as that changes with each passing day as the conference tournament results roll in.
The next automatic bids to the dance will be handed out on Saturday, when a slew of conferences wrap up their tournaments.
