363rd post on this amazing blog. Blog gist will augur seeding. As blog tries to place teams by accurate parameters & teams who play with heart. Site called bracketaday.blogspot.com but not 1, but 4 brackets for march madness, nit, cbi & basketball classic which used to be called cit. Yet called bracketaday.blogspot.com due to technically 1 mm bracket daily plus other 3 tourneys I seed. Try my best to place teams by seeding (march madness & nit only) & location (march madness, nit, cbi & basketball classic).

| USF Bulls with Kobe Knox Tampa Catholic High class Of 2020 beat Tulsa 69 to 50 by 19 points, Kobe Knox is named after dazzling Kobe Bryant who is near & dear to basketball fans' hearts, USF has great & fine Tampa campus & Bulls have tough mascot. They run fine switch defense when they play at their Tampa arena & they made coach change last offseason. |
march madness.
I have a compunction to place d1 teams which lost players due to injury, lost players due to transfer, suffer quad 3 or quad 4 losses, teams which get involved in transportation crashes (which are rare but horrible) or which suck in last some games they played: all conditions I mentioned means I won't place them as higher seeds. Those are bad. I have to congratulate d1 teams which gained players back from injury, gained players due to eligible transfer, achieve quad 1 or quad 2 wins, teams which don't get involved in transportation crashes or which excel in last several games they played: all conditions I mentioned means I will place them as higher seeds for march madness. Those are fine. Other thing to consider. I place team with best win out Of its conference as that conference autobid. So if a Missouri Valley team beats a #1 Kentucky Wildcats team, that Missouri Valley team placed as that conference autobid. Ok. Rule about team with best win out Of its conference as that autobid only applies in nonconference play when there are no conference standings to apply to d1. Only applies when team with best win out Of its conference has winning record; so no losing record or .500 teams will be receiving autobid. This best win out Of its conference rule makes me differ from other bracketology sites. I believe if team has best win out Of its conference then they can easily beat some weaker teams in their conference, win their conference tournament & get autobid that year. Thus for non power conferences any squad which has best win out Of its conference can be seeded from 7 to 16, but they will still in my opinion be considered conference's autobid. I don't think I'll do best conference record as autobid come conference play. I will probably do best overall record as autobid come conference play. Need to figure cbb things out. If u want me to do best conference record or want best overall record, leave comment below. Currently, I plan on doing best overall record as autobid for march madness. For example say in 2023 through 2024 season, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs have best overall record, but Miners have best conference record (this exact scenario actually happened, with Mean Green being the best conference record at C USA team instead Of Miners, in 2019 through 2020 season), then Louisiana Tech Bulldogs would be autobid for C USA. Reason I think this is because team with best overall record is likely better team & definitely could beat team with best conference record in conference tourney ok. Those are 2 rules I have for putting 1 team as autobid. Thus be happy to see ur team do great & get autobid if scenarios come true. I enjoy making seeds. That's all folks.

footnotes.
For my seeds, here's format to decipher them. I'll briefly explain. Going for march madness, each # corresponds to overall tournament seed. E.g., 1.-> 1 overall march madness seed. Going for nit, each # which is 16 & over corresponds to overall tournament seed but each Unseeded Team has no #s attached. E.g., 1. -> 1 overall nit seed while Unseeded Team doesn't -> any #. Going for cbi, each cbi # usually corresponds to teams with winning record at 2023 through 2024 season & will have lots Of teams at AAC, A 10, ACC, Big XII, Big East, Big 10, C USA, Mountain West, Pac 12 & SEC at college basketball. E.g., 4. would be team with fine winning record at conference alphabetically near top Of alphabet & 9. would be team with membership at conference alphabetically below above conferences. Going for basketball classic, each # usually corresponds to conference alphabetically. E.g., 5. would be team with best winning record remaining at conference alphabetically near top Of alphabet & 16. would be team with fine record at conference alphabetically below teams above it & there won't be any teams which come from AAC, A 10, ACC, Big XII, Big East, Big 10, C USA, Mountain West, Pac 12 & SEC because these conferences don't participate in basketball classic. Use footnotes when u're trying to decipher my seeding above. That's my tips. I followed the rules with regard to march madness & nit seeding & march madness, nit, cbi & basketball classic location. So be fine with reading my # lists for 4 tournaments at d1.
