Welcome to the first edition of 2023 bracketology!
This season has already shown to be a tremendously unpredictable one. The combination of the transfer portal with the extra season of COVID eligibility has left us with a group of teams that are not dominant, but are very capable. Predicting how things will end up is a fool's errand, but, that is why I'm here anyway.
These teams will look quite differently on Selection Sunday, but this will provide a good idea of where teams are with five weeks ago. Which teams have done well, which ones have work to do, and which ones need a salvage, ASAP.
