Bracketology 08-09: Week One
This is the first of what will start as a weekly and eventually daily Field of 65. The Bracketology field is based on how the tourney looks "as of this moment." Arrows indicate a team that moved up or down based on last night's performance. (Just because a team won or lost doesn't necessarily mean they'll move substantially.)
Important: Up until the beginning of conference play, the #1 RPI team in the conference is listed as the projected champ! (w/ the exception of Davidson at this point)
Note on Today's Movement:
This is the first
Daily Bracketology edition of the year.. and thus everything is new.. so no
