2022 Way Too Early Projected NCAA Tournament Bracket - Preseason

[Ezaco]

 

Yeah, WAY too early. But it's fun anyway.

 

How did I come up with this? Very simple: I took my current rankings and broke them into seedings. The #1 Overall Seed (#1) would have the worst #2 seed (#8) in their bracket, and so on and so forth. This is broken down:

 

Bracket Seed	Top Left	Bottom Left	Top Right	Bottom Right
	Ranking	Ranking	Ranking	Ranking
1	1	4	2	3
2	8	5	7	6
3	9	12	10	11
4	16	13	15	14
5	17	20	18	19
6	24	21	23	22
7	25	28	26	27
8	32	29	31	30
9	33	36	34	35
10	40	37	39	38
11	41	44	42	43
12	48	45	47	46
13	49	52	50	51
14	56	53	55	54
15	57	60	58	59
16	64	61	63	62

 

Ez-pz, right?

You forgot someone… again

[Ezaco]

Baylor is currently ranked 123.. so well below the cutoff. Even below the NIT ?

 

But these rankings are just from raw talent calculations (attribute grade A = 4 points, D = 1 point... average of all attributes of all players on the team). So it's not reflective or predictive in any way.

No defending champs? gross

[Ezaco]

Saint Mary's is ranked 99. Also outside the NIT cutoff ?

 

But when the field grows by 5 times (32 to 172)...

[Vivid]

So then why were we listed as projected to be in the tournament in your other stuff??

[Ezaco]

The rankings use numbers and math.

 

The previews are with my gut.

 

Eye test versus paper test.

Also... I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just throwing shit at the wall half the time right now ?

South dakota state vs providence is giving me ptsd flashbacks.
