Projections for 2/12/12
Unfortunately, I have to go out of town tomorrow, so I am posting my projections a day early.
A few notes on the bracket:
With the recent suspensions, Alabama is once again the biggest enigma of the season. Until the players are re-inserted into the lineup I have to project the Tide as if they are playing the rest of the regular season without them.
Miami was an 11 and Seton Hall a 12 on my s-curve, but I swapped their seeds for bracketing purposes.
As always, this is a projection of what the bracket will be on Selection Sunday, not what it would be as of today. Every team's future schedule has been taken into account.
