starting tonight I'll start being able to do the 2nd four out, etc.

One thing for sure, looking at your percentages Melky, you can definitely tell why ESPN chose those 9 conferences as their top 9.

Thanks for doing the spadework on this.Greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to what you come up with tonight.

The thing is, the fun part of things is just starting quite frankly. Gotten done with a lot of the prelim teams. Really only Providence seems even the least bit controversial.

Mods, could you split this thread starting with my post #81, so it would be on top of the thread, as I update it? I think it'll drive a lot of talk as we go thru especially the next 2-3 weeks when presumably at least 2-3 BE schools get listed.

St. John's shows up at #50, finishing 6th in the Big East and missing the NCAA tournament, going instead to the nIT.
