The teams below are displayed below on an S-curve, so they are ranked from left to right within each seeding line.  The italicized teams are ones predicted to win their conference tourney and gain an automatic bid to the dance.  For the conferences who currently have NCAA tourney teams, it is assumed that one of those teams will win [...]

Northwestern (Pick) vs. Minnesota- I really like the Wildcats here.  Both of these squads have played well at home this year and badly on the road.  The Gophers were able to squeak out a 4 point win against the Cats a few weeks ago in Minneapolis, but I think things will be drastically different when [...]

UAB (-5.5) vs. Marshall- After a hot start, the Herd have fallen by the wayside.  Meanwhile, the Blazers are fighting for an at-large berth in case they don’t win the C-USA [...]

I published the column below a couple of weeks ago, but due to several shifts in some of the conference standings, I think it might be best to update it by adding and subtracting a few teams.  Only teams in first or second place in their conference will be included in this column. We are just a [...]

These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident. George Mason (+4.0) vs. VCU- I know I lost with Mason last week, as I incorrectly thought that the Colonial leader could beat a bottom-dweller on the road.  However, Mason has [...]

While at a Super Bowl Party last night wearning a Saints t-shirt and Mardi Gras beads, I was asked by a fellow guest if I was a Saints fan or if I was just cheering for them tonight.  I responded that because of my love for the city as well as great underdog stories, they were definitely my third [...]

Here is the ranking of my Division 1-A college football teams.  They are divided by conference/division with their overall ranking in parentheses.  The conferences are also ordered from my favorite to least favorite.  SEC (It’s home to some of my most hated teams but also 4 out of 5 of my favorites.)  SEC East  1.  Kentucky (2)- [...]

Here is the ranking of my favorite NHL Teams. 1.  Hurricanes- I always thought it made more sense for the Hurricanes to play in Charlotte, but Raleigh has really embraced these guys.  They’ve given the Carolinas their only professional sports championship, so you got to love that. 2.  Canadiens- I love the city of Montreal and [...]

As you can see, I have slightly changed the title of my “brad-ketology” column because it is now being featured on the national Bracket Project Matix under the nickmae “SS” for sports sentimentalist.  This matrix is the most comprehensive source of bracektology, as it averages the  predictions of the top 55 bracketologists in the country.  [...]

These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident. George Mason (-1.0) vs. Georgia State- Hmm… the conference records for these two teams are 10-1 and 3-8.  I’ll take the 10 win team please! Charlotte (-7.5) vs. George Washington- As a [...]
