EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – The NCAA will release its first NET rankings Tuesday, so this will be the final Field of 68 projection that I use KenPom team rankings (in parentheses). I’ll make the switch to NET rankings with next week’s projection. A reminder, for now this is more parts projection of future results than it is about NCAA Tournament resume.
Automatic qualifiers (team with best conference record and/or highest KenPom ranking) from multiple-bid conferences are noted in bold.
