I know it means nothing, but I always find it entertaining to track how the matrix moves over the course of a season...

Preseason, 47 brackets reported
# of brackets projecting UAB: 42 of 47 (89%)
Highest projected seed: 7 (1 bracket)
Lowest projected seed: 12 (21 brackets)
Average projected seed: 11.26

Other CUSA teams:
North Texas (3 brackets)
La Tech (1 bracket)

we have a very talented team and they will need to learn to play together

Whoever thought La Tech would be there must not know fat boy is playing professionally now.

Got to the Christmas break, and its changed quite a bit

38 brackets reported
# of brackets projecting UAB: 9 of 38 (24%)
Highest Projected Seed: 11 (4 brackets)
Lowest Projected Seed: 12 (5 brackets)
Average Projected Seed: 11.56

Other CUSA Teams:
FAU: 33 brackets (average 10.97)
MTSU: 1 bracket (14 seed)

Brackets with >1 CUSA team: 4
FAU 10, UAB 12
FAU 11, UAB 12
FAU 11, UAB 11 (2 brackets)

At this point the brackets are mostly going with the higher computer ranking for FAU and projecting one bid for CUSA with that going to FAU due to their higher computer scores.

They are getting a ton of love for that one win at Florida.

true...they're 1-0 and we're 0-1 agains quad 1
they're 0-1 and we're 1-0 against quad 2

other than that, the biggest difference is that we have a quad 3 loss as well

They've also been blowing out their opponents. They dominated a USA team we struggled with and blew out a pretty good Florida Gulf Coast team by 30 plus points. They've been impressive and look like the best team in the league so far.

I will eat the L if I am wrong but I think the Blazers will spank them.
