Welcome back to Uprise Bracketology. After a hiatus, I have returned to provide a look at college basketball with the return of bracketology. I’ve worked to try and perfect a formula for seeding teams based on the selection committee’s decisions from previous years. I will have more to these articles in the coming week leading up to Selection Sunday on March 12th, 2023. You can find a compilation of bracketologists from across the internet at bracketmatrix.com.
