The Truth’s Bracketology

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

This was updated through yesterday’s games with the exception of a couple of the 1 bid leagues that I adjusted. Things are still subject to change, especially on the 1 line. Iowa could end up anywhere between an 8-10. I thought I would be moving them down but all the teams competing with a Iowa, for the most part, lost as well. The bubble sucks. I wanted to go with a mid major like Belmont but when has the committee ever sided with a mid major over a power conference team?

Oregon is just about to throw a wrench into things. One PAC 12 team in for another?

Where would you have to put Oregon if they finish this? (44-28 with 10:40 left).

I would think both get in? Whoever the last at large team in was, move Oregon in for them? Oregon is messing up brackets tonight

They weren’t too far off the bubble so I would imagine they would replace a team like Liberty at the 12.

One of the 4 teams currently in an 11/11 play in game will have to go. Do you have a 4 sided coin that I can borrow?

What stat to use as a tie breaker. Non-conf / overall sos?

I might toss ASU because of their losses. 2 Q4 and 2 Q3 losses. Alabama would be my second choice at this point. I’ll sleep on it, maybe it will come to me in a dream.

I’m working on my last bracket of the year right now. It’s really a guessing game when it comes to the last teams in the field. What does the committee value? Will that change over previous years because of NET? Did Oregon’s win last night knock ASU out because the PAC 12 is so bad they don’t deserve 3 bids? Does Indiana realistically have a chance because of their good wins and no Q3-Q4 losses? I’ve dogged some Bracketologists like Lunardi and Palm in the past but never again. This ain’t as easy as it looks once you start doing deep dives into resumes.
