FINAL SEED LIST
About Me.
College basketball, March Madness and bracketology have long been a passion area of mine, and one of my most enjoyable outlets since 2018 has been projecting the NCAA Tournament field and analyzing teams' postseason résumés. As a former full-time and current freelance sports journalist, my projections have bounced from source to source, but they'll live here going forward.
