Bracketology 12/13/2021

We’re now a month into the season, and there’s been some significant movement across the bracket. I had Arizona as a 9 seed in my preseason bracket but they have risen all the way to the top line after some nice wins over Michigan and Illinois, among others. The biggest underperformers include Michigan (1 seed to 10 seed), Memphis (3 seed to out of field) and Oregon (4 seed to out of field).

I’ll likely update my seed list at least weekly from here on out.
