Hi! So sorry for the long wait! I've been very busy with classwork at the start of a new semester!
Here is today's (01/23/2020) ABC:
ABC Bracketology - 01/23/2020
About today's bracketology:
Business is booming for:
-USC (15-3): The Trojans pulled off an upset against Stanford, and solidified a tournament spot for now. They have a big game against the Oregon Ducks tonight.
-LSU (14-4): The Tigers haven't lost a game since December (ironically, to USC,) and have a few big wins in conference so far. Their win streak, including a recent win over Florida, has brought them up to a 5-seed. However, they have won almost every conference game by the skin of their teeth. Let's see if LSU can get some convincing conference wins in the future.
-NC St. (14-5): NC St. has won five straight, many over fellow bubble teams. The wolfpack now find themselves as a 10-seed. However, will their weak SOS might not be able to hold them up if they stumble.
-Honorable Mentions: Penn St., Iowa, Rhode Island, Mississippi St.
Dreams are crumbling for:
-Arkansas (14-4): After losing to Kentucky, the Razorbacks dropped a crucial game in Starkville. Not only did this put Mississippi St. in the tourney, but it dropped the hogs all the way to an 8-seed. Arkansas has to take some big conference games that are coming up to move back up in the ranks.
-Michigan (11-7): After their amazing non-conference showing, the Wolverines have dropped three straight games and are only 2-5 in Big Ten play. If Michigan can hold on here in conference, their out of conference SOS can definitely help boost them into the tourney.
-Memphis (14-4): Oof. The Tigers are coming off an absolute clobbering at Tulsa. Memphis doesn't have much room for error, since the American is looking stronger by the day with Houston, Wichita State, Cincinnati, Temple, and now Tulsa (apparently.) Let's see if the Tigers can rebound from this ugly, ugly showing
-Honorable mentions: UNI, Purdue, Texas Tech
-The ABC is not influenced by my opinons in any way. It is a formula that seeds teams based on a composite of rankings. More about it here.
Thanks for stopping by and reading!
A big shout-out to Bracket Matrix for including the ABC in their composite of bracketologists!
