Hello friends, and welcome to the regular season finale edition of Bracketology at ClutchPoints! A handful of conference tournaments are already under way, but for most of the country, this weekend represents the final days of the 2024-25 regular season, and let me tell ya, a whole bunch of teams still have a whole lot […]

Hello friends, and welcome to the first March edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! Yes, you read that correctly, we’re in the month of March, and that means that even with about two weeks until Selection Sunday, the Madness is now officially upon us. To celebrate this, in place of our customary And One! prediction near […]

Hello friends, and welcome to the final February edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! We’re only 17 days out from Selection Sunday, and the number of teams on the bubble will only dwindle between now and 6 PM ET on Sunday March 16th, when the 37 at-large bids, along with the 31 automatic bids, are […]

Hello friends, and welcome to an impromptu and previously unscheduled edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! This is a no frills update, one without an extended intro or an And One! prediction posted near the bottom of the page. Instead, let’s just dive right into the latest set of projections before games tip-off on this Saturday that […]

Hello friends, and welcome to a Holy Hell Only One Month Away From Selection Sunday edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! Today, in addition to providing a fresh set of Bracketology projections, I’ll also be taking an extended look at the Michigan-Ohio State shootout on Sunday afternoon… a game which I was lucky enough to attend with […]

Hello friends, and welcome to another edition of Bracketology at ClutchPoints! Before we get bubble watching and begin breaking down brackets, I’d first like to reintroduce a concept that I initially wrote about all the way back in 2011 on my own blog and then re-upped last year here at ClutchPoints. It seems fitting that with […]

Hello friends, and welcome to the first February edition of Bracketology at ClutchPoints! To kick things off today — pun intended — I’d like to talk about the Kansas City Chiefs, who are one game away from their third consecutive Super Bowl championship, and the UConn Huskies, who are ranked 19th in the country and were […]

Hello friends, and welcome to the final January edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! Today, I’d like to shift the focus away from the Power 5 conferences and instead hold a magnifying glass up to some of the many mid-majors who may end up making some noise come March. And before you scoff at my […]

Hello friends, and welcome to another edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! For the first time in a month, there is shake-up on the 1-line, with the Alabama Crimson Tide taking over in place of the Tennessee Volunteers. The Vols suffered an upset loss as the hands of unranked Vandy on Saturday afternoon, paving the […]

Hello friends, and welcome back to Bracketology at ClutchPoints, where this week in addition to taking a look at an updated set of bracket projections, we’re going to spend a little time asking — but definitely not answering — ten big questions about the Big Ten Conference. Let’s get to it! -So, why are we […]

Hello friends, and welcome to the latest 2025 NCAA Tournament Bracketology update here at ClutchPoints. In our intro section today, in honor of Dick Vitale, who back in December announced he is once again cancer free, I request that you read the following three italicized paragraphs about the 4th-ranked Duke Blue Devils in your best […]

In the days of auld lang syne, I would’ve began this week’s edition of Bracketology with some sort of cutesy, “Here are 25 Players who will impact the race for the 2025 National Championship” gimmick. However, in the spirit of the New Year, I’d rather save that idea — maybe for the opening weekend of […]

Allow me to potentially be the first to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as I welcome you to the final edition of Bracketology at ClutchPoints in the year 2024! Before we get into the most updated Bracketology projections, I want to share some rapid-fire, bullet-point observations from a day in […]

Hello friends, and welcome to a mid-December edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! But hey, before I get into my updated projections, I was hoping you wouldn’t mind if I used this space to send along my College Hoops Christmas List to Santa Claus. I figure that there’s a better chance of him seeing it here […]

Hello friends, and welcome to a mid-December edition of Bracketology where we’ll kick things off with an ode to the SEC, where it just means more, and where the next NCAA Tournament champion may reside. It’s safe to say that the Southeastern Conference is the premier conference in college basketball this season. Consider: The SEC went […]

Welcome to another edition of Bracketology, and welcome to what I’m calling, The UConn Conundrum. As you’re surely aware by now, the two-time defending champion UConn Huskies had a disastrous stay in Hawaii over Feast Week, and that surprising 0-3 run in the Maui Invitational has raised a massive early season question… what do we do with […]

Well friends, it’s November, it’s Feast Week, and that means it’s time for the return of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints. No shortage of fine writers will be bringing you college hoops coverage throughout the 2024-25 season, but there’s only one man who will be bringing you Bracketology updates on a weekly basis, and his name […]

Before we get to the final Bracketology projections before the NCAA Tournament and March Madness officially begins, I want to take this opportunity to thank ClutchPoints for giving me the chance to do Bracketology, even though I was hired to be an associate editor and writer on the NFL/College Football side of things. I want to thank everyone […]

My God, now that was an absolutely madness-filled Championship Saturday, wasn’t it? We’re hours removed from the last game of the night, and I gotta be honest, I’m still reeling. Bid thieves had their day, and teams on the bubble paid for it. One #1 seed, the defending National Champions, clearly stands above the rest, […]

Friends, Selection Sunday may still be one day away, but with complete confidence I can say that March Madness has officially arrived. Championship Week Saturday is among the best days of basketball on the calendar each year, and we’ve got plenty to cover before the games begin today. So let’s get the Bracketology under way! […]

Welcome to another edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints, friends! We’re up to 14 tickets that have been officially punched to the Big Dance, and while none can be secured on Thursday, it’s still a loaded slate of games that have all kinds of bubble implications. As you’ll soon see, we’ve got an extended Examining The […]

Welcome to an exciting, We’re Less Than One Week Away From Selection Sunday edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! I’m keeping it brief here in the introduction here today, because we’ve got a whole lot to cover and the last thing you need is me yapping your ear off — or eyes, I suppose, since you’re […]

Welcome to Part 3 of Championship Week Bracketology here at ClutchPoints!

And March means Madness. And March Madness means […]

So, over the weekend, the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee revealed the top sixteen teams in their current tournament field, and there weren’t all that many surprises. Kansas on the 2-line? A case could be made that Iowa State should be ahead of the Jayhawks. San Diego State on the 4-line? Hmm, maybe the committee is […]

Welcome to a very special Super Bowl Sunday edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints.

Welcome to the 12th week of Bracketology projections for the 2024 NCAA Tournament here at ClutchPoints! So, I’m just gonna level with ya… every Monday morning when I’m writing this column, I never know what to write in this section here at the top. Everything else within this weekly column is pretty formulaic. I show […]

My goodness gracious what a wild week of college hoops it was! Purdue… upset! Kansas… upset! Houston… upset! Arizona… upset! Kentucky… upset! And all by unranked teams, mind you. I don’t know, the calendar may say it’s smack dab in the middle of January, but it’s feeling more and more like March by the day […]

Happy Monday friends, and welcome to the week 10 edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! Before we dive in, I’d like to take a brief second to wish my girlfriend a very Happy Birthday.

We entered last week knowing that the week ahead was going to be the biggest of the college basketball season so far, and how about the action we saw? Purdue vs. Arizona, North Carolina vs. Kentucky, and Kansas vs. Indiana all delivered […]

I’d like to first start off by offering my sincerest apologies for the one week hiatus here at ClutchPoints bracketology. Last week, instead of handling my duties as the resident Bracketologist here at ClutchPoints, I was off in Colorado freezing my behind off in a winter wonderland, drinking at least two cups of hot cocoa […]
