Happy Friday! Sorry I couldn't get a bracket out last night. Here is today's edition!
ABC Bracketology - 02/28/2020
-Business is booming for: Wisconsin, Purdue, USC
-Dreams are crumbling for: Arizona, Michigan, Colorado, Indiana, Arizona St.
Bubble Watch:
-Last 4 Byes: Arizona St., Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Utah St.
-Last 4 In: Rutgers, Purdue, Arkansas, USC
-First 4 Out: Stanford, Mississippi St., Providence, Richmond
-Next 4 Out: NC St., Alabama, Texas, Minnesota
-USC is back in with a win over Arizona; Purdue holds their spot with a win over the Hoosiers.
-The ABC is not influenced by my opinions in any way. It is a formula that seeds teams based on a composite of rankings. The goal of this project is twofold: to show and emphasize where metrics would seed teams without any human bias, and to achieve a possible objective bracketology method that may eventually be comparable to that of a human bracketologist.

-This is the first time all season I've agreed with the ABC's 1-seeds, probably due to Duke's loss.
-Expect Purdue to fall hard if they lose a couple more games here down the stretch. I'd definitely have Providence or USC in over them at the moment.

-Next 4 Out: Providence, Minnesota, VCU, UNC-Greensboro
-I am starting to get upset that Gonzaga is STILL a 2-seed, even after Duke's embarrassing loss to NC St. What on earth do they have to do in order for KPI and RPI to rate them fairly? I'll be seeking ways to improve the algorithm over the offseason, and dealing with outliers that seem to unfairly destroy teams (like Gonzaga) might be part of this process.
-I'm surprised Cincinnati is still in after losing at home to UCF. They have more ugly losses than just this one, too.

It's Friday! Here is today's ABC Bracketology.
ABC Bracketology - 02/07/2020
-Business is booming for: Arizona, Cincinnati
-Dreams are crumbling for: Wichita St., USC, Stanford, Tulsa
Bubble Watch
-Last 4 byes: Michigan, Indiana, Xavier, Minnesota
-Last 4 in: Virginia, USC, Mississippi St., Memphis
-First 4 out: VCU, Oklahoma, Stanford, Utah St.
-Next 4 out: Arizona St., Texas, NC St., Georgetown
(Side-note: Cincinnati is somehow comfortably in the field at a 9-seed, according to the ABC. I would not feel this way personally, but the composite is convinced that the Bearcats are legit.)
-The committee is revealing their top 16 overall seeds (if the season ended today) tomorrow. Let's look at what the ABC would predict for tomorrow, barring any upsets.
1 seeds: Kansas, Baylor, Duke, San Diego St.
2 seeds: Louisville, Gonzaga, Maryland, West Virginia
3 seeds: Dayton, Florida St., Seton Hall, Auburn
4 seeds: Villanova, Arizona, Butler, Penn St.
Now this seems like a valid prediction from the composite. Personally, I would expect a few things from tomorrow's reveal:
-The 1 seeds almost assuredly will be Baylor, Kansas, San Diego St., and Gonzaga, and probably in that order. The composite has 3 of these teams on the 1-line.
-The top 12 teams in the composite will probably make up all of the 1, 2, and 3 seeds. There seems to be a numeric tier break after the top 12 in the ABC, and I subjectively agree with it.
-I expect Dayton and Maryland to swap seed lines, personally.
-Arizona seems like a misfit as a 4-seed. I doubt we will see the Wildcats in the top 16 tomorrow. I'd expect to see Oregon or Michigan St. instead.
-My own personal prediction:
1 seeds: Baylor, Kansas, San Diego St., Gonzaga
2 seeds: Duke, Louisville, Dayton, West Virginia
3 seeds: Maryland, Seton Hall, Florida St., Auburn
4 seeds: Butler, Villanova, Penn St., Oregon

-I'm not sure what the deal is with Dayton and the metrics. Less than a week ago they were a 1-seed; now, after 2 wins, they are a 3-seed. Although these wins were not super convincing and over weak competition, Dayton's fall in the ranks is still really strange.

About today's bracket:
Business is booming for:
-Creighton: With an impressive road win over Villanova, the Jays move into a season-high 4-seed slot.
-Auburn: Auburn got their statement victory over Kentucky this weekend. They move back to a 4-seed.
-Others: Xavier, Wisconsin, Michigan, Mississippi St., Louisville, Cincinnati
Dreams are crumbling for:
-Ranked Big East Teams playing at home: Villanova, Seton Hall, and Butler all lost winnable games at home this weekend. While all these squads are likely safe in the tournament, it will impact their seeding and the conference race.
-Wichita St.: The Shockers lost this weekend to a surging Tulsa team. They are now a 9-seed, and have to start being careful - a one or two more bad losses could send them to the bubble.
-Others: Kentucky, Michigan St., Illinois, Minnesota, Rutgers
-I've found a way to automate KPI in the composite now, so I might be able to get these out more frequently.
-The ABC is not influenced by my opinion in any way. It is a formula that seeds teams based on a composite of rankings. Thanks for visiting!
