Bracketology - 2/17/23

Ah, today there is time for a blurb.

On Saturday, we will find out the current Top 16 teams as things stand today. Though a small nugget of information, it will be crucial to get this insight into what the committee values this season. As committee membership changes every season, different things are prioritized. Some years the committee loves metrics, other years top heavy wins carry more weight, etc. The only constants are that the committee loves strong road performances and hates weak non-cons. It will be very useful going forward.

As always, check out http://www.bracketmatrix.com/ for other great brackets.
