Preseason Bracket Projections for 2014-2015

This is the first time I've ever done a preseason projection.  I don't put a whole lot of stock in these projections since nobody has even played a game yet, but here's what I have as of right now.  This is largely based upon a combination of how teams finished last year, returning players, recruiting classes, and expected SOS.  I expect this will change significantly throughout the season.
