Daily Bracket




This is very rough, probably has bracketing errors, and is mostly a guess, but here's my way-too-early 2013-14 tourney prediction.  Please note that I'm unsure how the NCAA will handle the new AAC/Big East split.  In past years, they've tried keeping the same number of at-large bids, but I do not see expansion as an option, so I assume there will be 32 auto-bids and 36 at large bids.  I think I have all of the conference realignment settled too but am not 100% sure on that.  This does take into account early entrants to the NBA, and I may revisit this once a few of those have decided to go back to school.  Also, this does not account for a certain HS Senior who has yet to declare.  I'm making an assumption Andrew Wiggins will go to Kentucky, but a few other schools are in the mix, and he's good enough that his decision could alter a few things.  I'm sure there are teams too high and others too low, but it's a starting point.
