Bracketology 3/17/19 Evening (FINAL)

The Selection Show is finally upon us. I went through all the resumes again this morning and this is the final product. There are some adjustments from that- Syracuse and Oklahoma have moved down, while Villanova and Seton Hall have moved up, among other changes. I feel decent about the top of the bracket, and decent about the bottom, but less sure about the middle. This is the least sure I've been about a bubble in a few years- any of my at-larges on the 11 line could easily be out of the field, and any of my first four out could easily be in. My guess is that I will probably get 66/68 selections correct this year- all year, I've been assuming the committee will treat the NET primarily as a sorting metric like they did with the RPI but if this changes there could be some profound differences. Best of luck to all my fellow bracketologists, and a big thanks to the Bracket Matrix for compiling all of our submissions all season.
