Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2418801, member: 1969"] Its the stupidity of "as of now" brackets and the rules that they generally follow. BC is in first, so therefore as of now they are deemed the automatic. The problem with an "as of now" bracket in mid December is limited data points and it becomes a half assed bracket. Big name school with a loss or two that people pick for the top 10 will stay near a top seed even if they have done less than others. It becomes a total pick and choose exercise because there is so little to go on. And then they still follow hard rules like BC which makes no sense. I used to do a bracket earlier in the year and I felt like an idiot doing it because it was impossible not to project to some degree. If I ever do brackets now, I just take the projected full year data sets at RPI forecast and seed based on those. At least it really takes on what is the most important thing right now... how is the rest of your conference doing. [/QUOTE]
