Bracketology 2/2/16

I'm a tier one bracketologist over at the Bracket Matrix which you should definitely check out. All RPI data comes from Warren Nolan.

Apologies for the lack of a Monday update, I wanted to re-evaluate every team and a simple typo screwed up my whole Excel sheet and I had to re-do a lot. Regardless, this seed list is heavily based off of my newly developed bracketology model. I ran the model for each of the last four seasons, and got a Paymon average of +1.5. I'll fine tune it a bit, but I'm pretty happy with those results.

1: Oklahoma, Villanova, Iowa, North Carolina
2: Xavier, Kansas, Oregon, Virginia
3: Iowa State, Maryland, Texas A&M, Michigan State
4: West Virginia, Louisville, Miami (FL), Utah
5: Texas, Dayton, USC, Providence
6: Purdue, Kentucky, Baylor, Colorado
7: Duke, Arizona, Florida, Pittsburgh
8: South Carolina, Michigan, Notre Dame, St. Mary's
9: California, Indiana, VCU, St. Joseph's
10: Washington, Wichita State, Syracuse, Florida State
11: Clemson, (Stanford/Gonzaga), Connecticut, (UCLA/Cincinnati)
12: Valparaiso, Monmouth, San Diego State, South Dakota State
13: Arkansas-LR, Chattanooga, Stony Brook, Akron
14: UC Irvine, Yale, Belmont, UNC-Wilmington
15: North Florida, UAB, Montana, Stephen F. Austin
16: New Mexico State, Winthrop, (Bucknell/Hampton), (Wagner/Texas Southern)

 First Four Out: Texas Tech, Wisconsin, Seton Hall, Oregon State
Next Four Out: Monmouth, George Washington, Butler, Kansas State
Also Considered: Vanderbilt, Arkansas-LR, San Diego State, Georgetown, LSU, Alabama, Georgia Tech, South Dakota State, William & Mary, Evansville, Arizona State, St. Bonaventure, BYU, Boise State, Davidson, Creighton, Ohio State, Mississippi

Well, in the unlikely event that there is an NCAA tournament, here's my projection for it. Stanford really hurt themselves with their loss to Cal, their SOR is almost unprecedentedly bad for an at-large team. Xavier made things really interesting with a loss to DePaul, they're my last team in. Also out west, Colorado continued a massive slide with a loss to Washington State. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, USC 9: Marquette, Colorado, LSU, Providence 10: Florida, Indiana,  East Tennessee State , Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Richmond/Cincinnati) 12: (Texas/Xavier),  Stephen F.

The biggest game of the day on Friday was Northern Iowa's loss to Drake in the Arch Madness quarterfinals. I have kept the Panthers as the last team in the field for now, but it's going to be a long wait for them until Selection Sunday. Most of their resume comparisons haven't made the tournament, although their NET remains solid. A massive day awaits today, with nearly every bubble team in action. Updates will be daily from now until Selection Sunday. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  San Diego State 2:  Dayton ,  Florida State, Maryland, Seton Hall 3: Villanova, Creighton, Duke, Michigan State 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: BYU, Butler, Penn State, Iowa 6: Wisconsin, Michigan, Auburn, Colorado 7: West Virginia, Houston, Illinois, Virginia 8: St. Mary's, Arizona, Marquette, Oklahoma 9: Texas Tech, Rutgers, USC, Florida 10: Xavier, LSU,  East Tennessee State , Providence 11: Indiana, Wichita State, Texas, (Arizona State/Richmond) 12: (P

The last quiet bubble day of conference tournament week is done, with six more bids punched. Robert Morris moves into the field for St. Francis PA after their win in the NEC title game. I was supposed to be heading to Madison Square Garden for the Big East tournament tomorrow and likely up to Cambridge for the Ivy League tournament this weekend. I've cancelled my trip to New York, and the Ivy League tournament has been cancelled with Yale given the conference's berth in March Madness with their regular season title. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers 9: USC, Marquette, LSU, Providence 10: Florida,  East Tennessee State , Indiana, Texas Tech 1
