Bracketology 11/2/19
College hoops season is now only 3 days away, so it's time for the final bracketology update of the preseason. At the top, things are relatively similar to my June update, with North Carolina and Kentucky moving up to the top line, replacing Duke and Kansas. Closer to the bubble, everything is very shaky at this point in the season as teams from the 6 or 7 line on down are pretty indistinguishable from one another.
The Pac-12 is looking to rebound from its disastrous 2018-19 season, and the league has 6 or 7 possible tournament teams this year. When you consider a strong American, Atlantic 10 and WCC, it means that there could be fewer bids to go around to power conference teams who are 9-9 or 8-10 in conference play.
The next update will be sometime before Feast Week- for now, enjoy the beginning of the season. In addition to the Champions Classic, there's a whole lineup of intriguing non-conference games to start the year.

2: Florida, Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas
3: Virginia, Maryland, Villanova, Purdue
4: Baylor, Ohio State, Seton Hall, VCU

10: Notre Dame, Missouri, Harvard. Colorado
11: Penn State, Oklahoma, Washington, (NC State/Creighton)
12: (Wisconsin/West Virginia), New Mexico State, East Tennessee State, Vermont
13: Toledo, Belmont, Western Kentucky, Liberty
14: Loyola Chicago, Wright State, UC Irvine, Colgate
15: South Alabama, Hofstra, South Dakota, Radford
16: Sam Houston State, Iona, (Southern Utah/LIU), (Morgna State/Jackson State)
First Four Out: Mississippi State, Dayton, Iowa State, Georgetown
