"Reverse" Bracketology
Trying something new here. This is how I think the NCAA Tournament will end up, NOT how it would be if the season ended today. I went through just about every team's (teams that have an outside to legit shot at the tournament as of now) schedule to see how I think they'd end up. We'll see how this turns out come March.
Last four in: Arizona State, UNLV, Ohio State, Boston College.
Last four out: Miami, Western Kentucky, New Mexico, Houston.
Next four out: Creighton, Arkansas, BYU, California.
Conference breakdown: Big East (9), Pac 10 (7), ACC (5), Big 12 (5), Big Ten (5), SEC (5), Atlantic 10 (4), Mountain West (2), West Coast (2).
All other leagues (22): one bid.
