This is my morning update, and though its not final, its pretty indicative of what my final field will look like. The only changes made from now and my final field will be if Illinois or Georgia win, or if I have a change of heart(unlikely). My final field will be posted at 4:30pm Central

I will start putting in complete brackets on Thursday. For now I only have time to do a Field of 65.

Sorry I couldn't do a full bracket this Friday, but I have to go home for spring break so I am getting ready for that. Since Championship Week starts tomorrow, I will begin daily updates starting Sunday and should have a full bracket by then.

Remember, bracket is made using predictions of future results.

Gah, the bubble is SO weak. In years past its trying to find the 34 best at-large teams. This year, its trying to find out the teams who suck the least. Will someone try to play their ways in rather than play their ways out? You think that a team had played their way out of the field with a loss(see: New Mexico) but with EVERY bubble team seeming to lose, the bar for at-large bids is lower and lower so those teams find their way back into the field. It's like a game of limbo - how low can we go? So if you think this bracketology sucks, too bad. Until the bubble clears up(IF it ever clears up) I am just going to take who I think is most deserving.

I have had people say that I have no idea what I am doing when making my bracket projections.

I have been doing this since 2003, and have been quite successful. The reason mine seem so different than the rest on the Bracket Matrix and others like Lunardi/Parrish is because I predict teams future records. Once March closes in and we near Selection Sunday, my brackets begin to reflect everyone else's because there are less games to predict and trends are easier to establish.

The past two years have been hard to predict, as predicting 62/65 teams seems to be the status quo for the bracketologies around the internet. This is mostly because some strange and unexpected at-large teams are being put into the field the past two years, such as Air Force and Utah State in 2006 and Illinois/Arkansas in 2007 that no one really could have logically expected(even though I correctly predicted Utah State getting in in 2006).
