Bracketology: Early Saturday Update
Why should you care what I have to say? In 2007 & 2008, I was considered to have one of the Top 2 or 3 brackets amongst 53 national experts including Joe Lunardi, Gary Parrish and the like. (Admittedly my 2009 final bracket was rather weak.. not sure what happened. Can't win 'em all.)
Notes:
Arrows (

indicate movement by seed.
Green font indicates new to the field this week. Conference champions are not my end
of season predictions, but current leaders. Ties atop conference standings go
to the higher RPI team. Check-mark (

indicates automatic bid.
