For those of you new here, Week 1 will give you a full breakdown of what we’re doing. Current bracketology HERE. Most recent Bubble Watch HERE.
This is our final update until after the Selection show. I plan to add the relevant tourney teams who do fall outside the top-40 and drop any if they don’t make it so we can really get a look at the field. I also plan to have a bracket visual with the archetype highlighted so we can see how the bracket could play out based on this exercise.
We are now sitting on 3 Juggernaut’s which is obviously unprecedented since we only have had 5 since 2002. Just to reiterate, all 5 of those historical teams have made the Final 4 with 3 of them getting to the title game. Those saying oh maybe this will be a top heavy tourney I say unequivocally it will be. The top-5-6 teams are great to elite, giving us even a bigger group than we had last year. Last year it was 4 and they all made it to the Final 4. So yes, I expect these teams to get deep into the tourney, especially considering Duke is now right there with the 2015 undefeated Kentucky team in terms of overall net efficiency. Below is the graph for this week with the historical slide show to show you each week how it has progressed.
