NCAA Bracket Projection - 12/9/21

Here's my updated bracket projections through games played 12/8/21.  NET has finally been released so now using that in my projections rather than the forecasted end-of-season NET I was using previously.  That means this projection and projections going forward will be more strongly resume-based than what they've been prior to this point.  Still waiting for KPI to be released.

NCAA Bracket Projection - 12/4/21

 Here's my first in-season update of the season.  NET still hasn't been released so still using a forecasted end-of-season NET projection for now.  Once NET is officially released later this month I will start using that as well.  KPI also has yet to be released so will start incorporating that as well once it starts being released.

Final Preseason NCAA Bracket Projection - 11/6/21

 Here's my final preseason NCAA bracket projection.  Sagarin and BPI preseason ratings have now been released so I figured I'd update my projections accordingly.  This is still wildly speculative given that I'm using projected NET ratings from projected final season records in my analysis.  Once actual NET rankings are released then I'll start using those instead but prior to that it's pretty speculative.  Conference champs (teams in bold) are determined simply by highest rated team in the NET projections being utilized.

Early preseason NCAA tournament projections - 10/24/21

I will emphasize that this is very early with very limited data available. KenPom is the only rating included on the teamsheets that has even been released yet, and the "NET" rankings I'm utilizing are simply a projected final NET ranking based upon simulated season results from Bart Torvik and are wildly speculative at this point. Other ratings used by committee that have not been released yet include Sagarin, BPI, Strength of Record, and KPI. Let's just say there's a reason I usually don't come out w/ preseason projections and things could easily look vastly different a month from today compared to what I have right now. Regardless of all that, here's my very early projections for the 2022 NCAA tournament:

1 Seeds:  GONZAGA, UCLA, ILLINOIS, Kansas
