Bracket Breakdown

This is the first in-season Field of 65 so far this season; it reflects all games played in the 2006 portion of the season. This is not what I think the bracket will look like come March; it is what I think it would look like if the season ended today. Beginning in February, March Madness All Season will release a projected bracket (with seeds and matchups) every week. For some of the smaller conferences that didn't have league games yet and no one team has stood out from the pack yet, the teams with the best RPI get the bid.
