Opening Round Projection

Since the Selection Committee says they'll announce the matchup for Tuesday's Opening Round game by 3:30 today, my projection for this one is the two teams in the field at the moment who have losing records, Coppin State from the MEAC and Mississippi Valley State from the SWAC. It may not be politically correct to place two HBCUs in Dayton, but the profiles of these two teams stand out from the rest of the field. Northwestern State from the Southland could slide in here and replace MVSU if they come back against Texas-Arlington, but this isn't looking likely.

Final bracket and a very quick rundown will be out around 5:30. I have a couple of drafts ready and some contingencies in place based on if Georgia wins the SEC or Illinois takes the Big Ten.

Expect a post-mortem tonight or at the latest tomorrow evening. Tuesday, I'll have a little on my travels over the past week. Wednesday is picks time.
