    Bracketology: Your Way-Too-Early March Madness bracket for 2021, Version 1 - ESPN

    "In the best of times, Bracketology for future seasons is educated guessing at its finest. And these are anything but the best of times. With an understanding that all of us in college basketball are blessed to work in life's toy department, we press on toward a 2020-21 season with a hopeful eye and a wistful heart. The 2019-20 tourney-less campaign left us worse than in the lurch. It left us with a suddenness that was unprecedented and, Lord willing, unrepeatable....

    Our methodology for future brackets is based on an algorithm of returning minutes per team, the established level of production of those minutes and guesstimates of how (and how well) a team's non-returning minutes will be replaced. The NBA draft process and NCAA transfer portal present moving targets for everyone, so this bracket might be obsolete for at least some teams in a day, a week or a month. We'll update to reflect that movement as frequently as possible.

    In the meantime, know that a typical April bracket will correctly forecast about half of the top seeds for the following season. It will identify about two-thirds of the eventual at-large pool. And its misses will be glaring...."

    If the Big East garners 2 #1 seeds and only has 4 total teams in the tourney, with UCONN being one of them.... They must have some really, really bad teams. I would think that having 2 #1 seeds would have some huge residual RPI/Net ranking implications for the other teams. Would think it would drag along a couple others. But I guess if the Big 12 is gonna be back to getting 7 teams in, then....

      Lunardi has UConn still in the American Conference. The AAC has now become a 1-bid league.

        One bid my ass. The American is a 3 bid NCAA, 2 bid NIT minimum.

          Bracketology: ...in early 2021 bracket projection - CBS Sports

          Bracketology: Gonzaga, Baylor, Villanova and Creighton are No. 1 seeds in early 2021 bracket projection
          https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/bracketology-gonzaga-baylor-villanova-and-creighton-are-no-1-seeds-in-early-2021-bracket-projection/
          Jerry Palm takes a never-too-early look at next year's NCAA Tournament field of 68


          "...In putting together a bracket this early, it is necessary to be lax with some of the bracketing rules. For instance, regular-season rematches are not factored in since we don't have full schedules to compare to yet.

          The NET rankings and other data on the Bracketology page is as of the end of the 2019-2020 season...."

            A bit off topic maybe... but in Taylor’s breakdown of the AAC teams, it showed Precious NOT going pro... how is Memphis NOT a tourney team if so?

              How did Memphis not run away with the AAC title this year? They had an absolutely LOADED roster, like one of the best recruiting classes in NCAA history. They should have, at minimum, won the conference. Memphis needs a real coach to have any guarantee like that.

                    TyShon Alexander declared for the draft. He was Creighton's stud. They may drop further on more pundits radars.
                    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

                      One of their big-time freshmen (Weissman) quit the team right before he could come back and play, and they had injuries (Young and Jeffries).

                        That was more of a rhetorical question. Wiseman quit for a reason, and they were unimpressive with Young and Jeffries.

                        Penny is a coach that needs an overwhelming leg up in talent to succeed.
