2012 NCAA Bracketology

Updated 2/7

By: David Kay

The Selection Committee is always criticized when the brackets come out for leaving a team out, the seedings, or sending a program to play somewhere far away from home. Until you actually sit down and try to figure this thing out, don't knock the system because believe me, it's a complex process. Here's me taking a shot at it. Be sure to check back every week for my updated field.
