Preseason Bracketology All the Rage This Week

5 Comments

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.

ESPN’s Joe Lunardi Releases His Preseason 2015-16 Bracketology

1 Comment

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. The Friars are not currently one of those 5 but they are right on the cusp, according to Lunardi. The ACC leads the way with 9 teams in the field followed by the SEC, Pac 12, Big 12 and Big Ten getting 6 teams each. The American (4) and Atlantic 10 (2) are the other multi-bid leagues in Lunardi’s bracket.

Here are the notable Big East results from Lunardi’s preaseson bracket:

CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm Releases Updated Bracketology 1/5/15

To go along with ESPN’s Joe Lunardi releasing an updated bracket on Monday CBSSports didn’t want to be left out so Jerry Palm also updated his bracket.

I think Palm’s 5 is probably a more realistic number come March than Lunardi’s 7 because the middle of this conference is going to beat each other up.

Here is how Palm has the Big East:

ESPN’s Joe Lunardi Releases His Preseason Bracketology

Continuing the absurdity started by CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm on Monday with his release of preseason bracketology, Joey Brackets himself put out his first stab at bracketology on Wednesday. His bracket looks a little bit different than Palm’s. Friar fans may be a bit confused to see the ESPN bracket including them while CBS Sports’ did not.
