Care to share your reasoning for excluding Butler?
ReplyDeleteYou appear to be the only bracket on Bracket Matrix not to include the Bulldogs.
DeleteTough sledding ahead - I see them being a twelve- or thirteen-loss team. In fact, they're not even in my first four out. However, these positions are all very tight and a surprise win over, say, Xavier or Creighton would probably push them in.
DeleteSo, don't take this comment the wrong way, but your bracket is made up of guesses on how future games will occur rather than current results?
DeleteYes, that is the intent: to predict what the bracket will be.
DeleteI mean.. yes - that is the intent I guess, but typically speaking when multiple updates are made, it's done based on results not guesses/theories on what may happen based on a hunch. With that said, I respect your answer and appreciate the response.
