Bracketology Way Too Early

Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology reports are always fun to look at when the season is underway, but when the college basketball tip off is still painfully out in the distance, they just make you a little sad. Well, maybe the fact that it’s Monday has a little something to do with it too. Either way, there’s a fresh Bracketology report out there. It’s still much too early to tell much about the way the basketball season is going to turn out by Tourney time, but Joe gives it a valiant effort. Unlike most of the other Top 25 lists that come out too early, Joe’s list is more real-world, in that it goes straight to the heart of the matter- which teams will get into the Tournament, and which ones will be left out. In the end, getting ranked in the top 25 is great, but if you fail to make the dance, you’re season is a bit of a disappointment.

So who does Joe put to make the No. 1 seeds? Well, apparently he’s a big fan of Tobacco road, because he’s got North Carolina and Duke as No. 1s. He’s also got Memphis and Pittsburgh as the other regional No. 1s. Memphis lost three hugely important players from last season to the NBA Draft. Duke lost one of their best outside scorers to a transfer, and North Carolina will miss Ty Lawson from last year’s team. Yet, still they should be replenished with good rookies, ready to get back to the top of the college basketball world.
