Bracketology 1/25/16

1) I'm a tier one bracketologist over at the Bracket Matrix Rankings, which you should definitely check out.

2) Remember that all seed lines are read left to right.

3) Teams that are currently projected as auto-bids are listed in the bubble section at the bottom with respect to where they would be without their auto-bid.

4) All RPI data used for this comes from Warren Nolan. If you're as much of a college basketball geek as I am, it should be one of your bookmarks along with KenPom and the Bracket Matrix.

5) Great weekend of college hoops, although not as much movement at the top of the bracket as the last couple weeks has given us. Only real movement up there is that Iowa is now on my 1 line.
6) I spent a lot of time this weekend working on some long-range stuff- I now have the resumes of every team from 2012-2015 who was in tournament contention in a spreadsheet, and am working on building a model to predict what happens on Selection Sunday. I'll do a test run of the model later this week, in all likelihood.
