Thanks to the rare Monday night IU game, this week’s projections won’t have much of a writeup, but this is typically the time of year when I roll out my first set of in-season bracket projections.
While this season hasn’t been quite as ravaged with COVID pauses, it’s still been challenging due to various schedule changes as well as instances when key players have not been available.

From a conference perspective, the Big Ten and Big 12 lead the way with eight teams each, followed closely by the Big East with seven.
