It seems like I say this every year, but this year feels way weirder - for obvious reasons. </p><p>Adding to my normal first-bracket jitters is the fact I have watched almost zero college basketball this year, with the exception of parts of maybe 5 Gophers games. In some ways, this is actually a benefit, as my bracket becomes almost a de facto "blind" bracket. But in reality, the Eye Test does influence the committee, as well as other bracketologists, and therefore means some of the seeds below are going to be vary significantly from other experts' picks at this point. </p><p>One last note - because some teams have played far fewer games than others, I tried to apply some creative smoothing to some of the metrics, like quality wins and bad losses. Essentially I'm trying to ensure that 2 quality wins out of 7 games played reflects in my ratings similarly to 4 quality wins out of 14 games played.</p><p>With those caveats in mind, here's what I think seeds look like if the season ended today.</p><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white;

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">Just a couple weeks ago, I couldn't have imagined I'd spend my Selection Sunday tracking and analyzing COVID-19 data rather than NCAA resume data. Rather than being immersed in the Big Ten championship game and Selection show, I spent my afternoon following updates on emergency shutdown measures and making contingency plans for the upcoming days and weeks.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">Following the announcement of tournament cancellation, there were hopes the committee would still release their bracket, however a decision was rightly made that more important matters needed those individuals' urgent attention. We'll never know how accurate these predictions are, but for the sake of posterity, here is my final bracket.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">I want talk for just a moment about Gonzaga. They they are undoubtedly one of the elite programs in the country, and pass the 1-seed "eye-test" with flying colors. That being said, their resume has no recent precedent in terms of a team so good having a schedule so awful. To date, they've beaten just two tourney teams and have a NET SOS of 292. They have 6 or 7 resume games left on their schedule, including the WCC tournament, so their best case scenario is a 33-1 record, 150ish SOS, 5 Q1 wins & 5 Q2 wins. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">We only have one year of NET selection data, and last year the worst SOS in the at-large field was 26-6 Belmont's #154. That team had 2 Q1 wins, 3 Q2 wins, and 3 losses outside Q1. Obviously this year's Zags are far superior, but can they improve their resume enough for a chance at a #1 seed?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">The closest resume comparisons are actually three recent Gonzaga teams.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">2013: 30-2, #6RPI, #75SOS, 6 "Q1" & 6 "Q2" wins, no bad losses. Result: 1-seed</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">2015: 31-2, #8RPI, #72SOS, 5 "Q1" & 4 "Q2" wins, no bad losses. Result: 2-seed</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">2017: 32-1, #8RPI, #78SOS, 6 "Q1" & 6 "Q2" wins, no bad losses. Result: 1-seed</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">My opinion is the Bulldogs best case resume for 2020 is worse than any of the above, and has a ceiling of a 2-seed.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">Projected 2020: 33-1, [#21RPI], #10NET, #150SOS, 5 Q1 & 5 Q2 wins, no bad losses.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">Given their current mid-season SOS of 292, I can't even justify a top-3 seed.</span></span><br />

I hesitate to publish a bracket with significant deviations from most other bracketologists, but hopefully a quick explanation of my method will make sense. As preparation for Selection Sunday, I don't do any forward-looking projection for how teams will perform after today. My bracket is always based on "if selection occurred today". With that said, you'll see some noteable absences, which I'll try to address below.<br />
<br />
More specifically, my method uses a regression formula based on prior years' seeding to initially rank teams based on the most significant resume metrics. I then apply some high-level subjective shuffling to arrive at my final list. Due to time constraints, I generally do not apply the nuanced seeding rules until my final bracket, so I only list the projected seed without predicting specific matchups.<br />
<br />
One final note- the new NET ranking system is just in it's second year of use, so there isn't yet much historical precedent for how to interpret past seeding. While the RPI and NET numbers seemed to converge toward the end of the season last year (especially for at-large teams), the differences tend to be more drastic earlier in the season. This contributes to my early-season predictions not lining up with more traditional forward-looking brackets.<br />

With three games still underway, here is my update as of about 2:00 pm CST. I believe the field is set, as none of the remaining outcomes will impact who gets in, only seeding. I may still shuffle some of these seedings in the next couple hours based on further review and bracketing procedures<br />
<br />
This bracket assumes:<br />
-Wisconsin wins Big10. If Michigan wins, WI falls to 5-line (Cincy or UVA moves up to 4, depending on AAC outcome) and Michigan rises to 6-line moving St Mary's to the #7.<br />
-Cincinnati wins AAC. If SMU wins, Cincy and SMU both move to #6 line with WVU moving up to #5 and St. Mary's falls to #7<br />
-Troy wins Sun Belt. If Texas State wins, they would still be a 16-seed play-in.<br />

I'm enjoying the last day of my Colorado vacation, watching Championship Week and anxious to get home and post an updated bracket.<br />
<br />
As of last night, 107 of 135 brackets included Syracuse in the field. Here's why I believe their odds of selection are in the low single digits. The lowest RPI included in the at-large field is usually between 65-70. Before last year, the worst ever selected was 71. Last year, the Orange broke that record by being selected with the #74 RPI. Yesterday's lOSS to Miami dropped Syracuse to the #84 RPI. Despite several impressive wins late in the season and a weaker than normal bubble, I don't believe the committee will consider a team with such a low RPI for an at-large bid.<br />
<br />
Check back Saturday morning for an updated bracket.</div>
