With the 2011-12 college basketball season just ending it is aleady time for the first bracketology for the 2012-13 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.
RoundballChat is proud to be a part of The Bracket Project’s Matrix Index!
Note : Of the 4 numbers 1 seeds Indiana is first overall followed by Louisville, Kentucky, and Kansas. Indiana and Kansas will be on the same side of the bracket as will Louisville and Kentucky.
