ESPN and CBS Sports have released updated brackets on Monday morning and we’ll continue to track the minutae of each bracketology update so you don’t have to. Joe Lunardi’s ESPN bracket and Jerry Palm’s CBS Sports bracket are in agreement on Providence’s seed line again, after their last joint update on January 4th also had the Friars on the same seed line.

After 33 days of college basketball games, Jerry Palm has released his first updated bracketology since before the season began on November 13th. Palm was pretty bullish on Providence and had placed the Friars as a 9 seed in his preseason bracket. With the Friars off to a 10-1 start over those 33 days, Palm is even higher on Ed Cooley’s bunch than Joe Lunardi, who has Providence as a 5 seed in his latest release of Bracket Math. Palm also calls for 5 Big East teams to be in his field of 68.

Preseason Bracketology All the Rage This Week
After 7 months of “way too early” preseason projections it’s now pretty timely to be making preseason projections — if for no other reason than the preseason ends tonight. This week has seen lots of different publications come out with their preseason bracketology — something that people might argue is still way too early — and there has been a bit of a dichotomy about where Providence stands in regards to the NCAA Tournament following the 2015-16 season. It appears that dichotomy stands between the human based projections and those generated by data and computer programs.

Early August means preseason bracketology, because why not? ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has released his preseason bracket and the Big East has 5 teams in the field of 68.
