First Bracketology of the 2022-23 Season (1-7-23)

 The college basketball season is marching along and working it's way into league play for the 2022-23 season. As we continue to inch and inch towards March, there is no doubt that there will be teams that fall from grace and that ascend from obscurity as we stand right now. This is what makes the sport great. That being said, let's get into my first bracket projection of this season, and get ready to enjoy the ride.


This is based, in part, on my own personal algorithm which includes a teams stats, plus more data from other advanced metrics like KenPom and the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET), as well as their performances in NET quadrants.
