Preseason Bracketology : College Basketball
Published on November 9, 2012 by Scott Shirley · No CommentsThe season is just starting but it’s never late to have my first Bracketology of the season. Remember there are 68 teams not 64. 31 teams receive automatic bids for winning their league. Then there are 37 at large selections. So who did I predict to make the field of 68 find out below.
