Happy Thursday! Here is today's bracketology.
ABC Bracketology - 01/30/2020
A few notes about the bracket:
Business is booming for:
-The Atlantic-10 conference: This bracket highlights Dayton getting a 1-seed, along with Rhode Island and VCU in the tournament safely without having to play play-in games. We'll see if these three teams can carry their conference until the tourney.
-Villanova: Winners of seven straight, the Wildcats have moved up to a 2-seed.Their next three games (Creighton, Butler, Seton Hall) will be very telling of how good this team actually is.
-Virginia: With a big win over the 'Noles, Virginia is now in the tournament with a bye. Hopefully the defending champs can find some offense and win some big ACC games down the stretch.
-Honorable Mentions: Texas Tech, Marquette
Dreams are crumbling for:
-NC St.: With two straight losses to very beatable conference foes, the Wolfpack have slid out of the bracket. They'll likely have to pull an upset or two to make the tourney at this point.
-East Tennessee St. (and the SoCon): The Buccaneers were by far one of the most impressive mid-majors this year, with a road win over LSU on their resume. However, the Buccaneers' at-large hopes were likely dashed last night when they were inexplicably drubbed by Mercer. ETSU might need to win out to ensure a tournament spot.
-West Virginia: Hallelujah, West Virginia is no longer a 1-seed, even if RPI still loves them. With a loss to Texas Tech in a strange game, the Mountaineers are now the seventh overall seed.
-Florida St.: The Seminoles, with a loss to Virginia, have fallen to a 4-seed. This team should have no worries about falling too far or making the tournament, though.
Honorable Mentions: Richmond, Virginia Tech, Arkansas
-The ABC is not influenced by my opinion in any way. It is a formula that seeds teams based on a composite of rankings.
