Bracketology

Welcome to the C.M.A.S. Elite Hoops News Blog. In this blog, I will discuss basketball at all levels. I encourage you to comment on my posts and please don't hold your punches. To begin, I am going to post my first Bracketology. The mission here is a little bit different than Mr. Lunardi's bracketology. I am going to simply list the teams that I feel are in the field of 65. I will not seed the teams until Championship Week. Last year I was able to list 63 out of the 65 teams in the field. Please keep in mind that this list of teams are not who I believe belongs in the field, but who I think that the selection committee will include. Here we go:
