The NFL season is winding down, with the Super Bowl taking place this Sunday. As the NFL season ends, we’ll be shifting our focus towards covering NFL Draft prospects. In addition to that, I’ll once again be covering college basketball, particularly focusing on bracketology. Last year, I wrote a number of “primer” posts explaining how bracketology works and some recent history on how RPI corresponds to a team’s chances to make the NCAA Tournament.
This season, the NCAA has unveiled the new NET Rankings that have replaced the RPI. The NET formula is a secret, so amateur bracket-projectors (like myself) are at the mercy of the NCAA releasing new rankings in order to update our bracket predictions.
