Bracketology Report #1......get those straight-jackets to the drycleaners for the MaDneSs!!!!!!


Finally gotta break,......it's a bit mashed up, but this was an email to Insanity Report Staff...thought I'd share to the world. Here's our latest Bracketology Report

Check this out:

ACC:
- Virginia with OK wins but still SOS rank of 100
- Duke is Duke, high RPI/SOS but still suspect defense at best, and bet record plummets vs. other tourney teams. PLus it'll be a bit inflated with the win at UNC

BIG 10
- I think Northwestern is a lock for the Play-in game. It;ll be good tv and good rating with their storyline, and is they don't fuck up in their last couple games, they should deserve it
- Michigan State is #2 RPI and #1 SOS, with no mention of #1 overall in the country....best record in Big 10 which is the most legit conference in the country, check out the combined RPI's and especially SOS of the projected Big 10 tourney teams. Could make an argument that they deserve more berths than even the Big East. Prob won't happen though.

BIG 12
- Mizzou OK RPI, but 80th ranked SOS shows their fraud factor. Don't like their 4 guard set and Ratliffe not commanding enough as only forward. Plus Mizzou has no depth, no bench
- Baylor gets bad pub cuz of losses to Mizzou and KU, but overall a good RPI and SOS. Gonna be tough to keep up with the Jones'-zuzzzzzz, both PJ3 and Anthony.
- Watch out for Iowa State. Royce White is a sick double-double forward and Chris Allen ala Michiga State has tonnes o tourney experience. I like them. Coach Hoiberg has something going on.

BIG EAST
- D$ and I texted today about collective hate for UConn at this point. They've lost alot of games but have put themselves through the gauntlet with a 2nd ranked SOS. They probably get into the tourney. But wanna break down a game or two before I rush to their eventual judgement.
- Syracuse is real deal with their 2-3 zone, especially with Fab Melo in the middle. Also, their big 3 in Joseph, Jardine and Triche have tourney experience. Waiters and Fair are shizzo slashers to the hole. Not clutch scorers.
- Georgetown and Marquette's RPI and SOS show they are primed for at least Sweet 16 runs. GTown dismantled Notre Dental Damme last night. They have 4 rad rookies coming of the bench led by Otto Porter. He has an it factor on offense. Real good Hoop IQ but is a liability on defense, his youth shows. Slow recognition
- Seton Hall should get in, but West Virginia, and especially SoFlo should beat it straight to the NIT. Sorry Huggy Bear.

SEC
- Vandy has bad losses but an RPI/SOS similar to UConn's.....they've put themselves through the gauntlet like UConn to minimal avail. They could surprise some peeps. If their healthy, they might do some damage, but I wanna watch a game or two of these kats.
- Florida is Flori-shizzo
- Kentucky...3 RPI but 41 SOS? That reaks of a baaaaaaddddd SEC conference, plus Kentucky didn't have many road non-conference games. I say their youth will show in the tourney. Out by Elite Eight at latest.
- Alabama 41 RPI and 18 SOS...legit team or shizzo? Gotta see.

PAC 12
Worse then SEC
- Cal only tourney team in my eyes.
- UDub prob gets in due to committee's boner for BCS conferences.
- PLus Oregon/Arizona should duke it out for the play-in game
- Colorado has a shot with a deep tourney run.
- Too bad Stanford is so low, I like Josh Owens at forward

WCC
all three teams, Zags, St Mary's and BYU all earning at large berths, especially with St Mary's bracket buster W vs Murry Fraud State.

OVC
- Murray State with SOS of 208!?!?!?!?!?!?!???????? And Top 25 poll ranking? Ouch, upset city here.

Big West
- LB State, murderous row of non conference sked in pre season and only SOS of 108???? I think they win first game in tourney

IVY LEAGUE
- Harvard is slight smoke-n-mirrors team with 32 RPI but 188 SOS

HORIZON
Out of Cleveland State, Valpo and Butler, the highest RPI is Cleve State at 88 and highest ranking SOS is Butler at 125???? Fraud conference. Don't fall for this funk!!!

MAAC
- Iona with 44 RPI....how'd that happen. Gonna watch their conference tourney games to scout.

WAC
Not as wacky as we though. Nevada and New Mexico State with 57 and 67 ranked RPI respectively. One berth only still but wanna scout this conference tourney too.

ATL SUN
- Belmont...fear the belmont stakes here! 65 RPI, not bad. Bad SOS of course, but these players have 2 years of great tourney performaces for Belmont.....they get a 13 or 14 seed and depending on their draw, the 3 or 4 seed they're paired up could very well be a fraud team

SUMMIT LEAGUE
- Oral B Roberts and South Dakota State have surprisingly high RPI for their conference, 45 and 57 repsectively. Gotta watch this conference tourney!

Thoughts? Comments? Spit 'em out, the Madness is upon us!!!!

Commish out!!!!!
