The idea of bracketology has always been to take a snapshot of the season in its current state and apply the principles of selecting, seeding and placing teams in the bracket if the season ended on that day.
Since the NCAA Division I women's basketball committee started offering in-season reveals in 2016, the snapshot has become even more clear since more information is available.
This week's bracket projection incorporates what the committee revealed last Thursday. But in the ever-evolving world of college basketball, Monday's projection also includes adjustments based on a weekend of games. Four days can change plenty -- or in some cases, not much at all.
