The college basketball season is just days away - and so is the return of Bracketology 101. In the next couple days, we will post our pre-season Field of 65, announce our pre-season Final Four picks, and analyze what fans should expect as their teams officially get ready tip-off.

See you soon...

Congrats!

Congratulations to G. Hardy and S. Bhaskar for winning our ESPN tourney challenge group. It was a good tourney until the Final Four which was one of the worst in memory. In the next couple days we'll post our picks for next year's Final Four and our upcoming plans.

Questions After a Great Two Nights of Games

How in the world did Rashad Anderson hit that shot?

How quickly is Marcus Williams moving up draft boards?

Has anyone seen Rudy Gay...anyone?....anyone?

How is Brandon Roy not a Naismith finalist (and Gay is)?

Why didn't Ryan Appleby just put up a shot after that steal?

How did UConn let him get such a good look at the buzzer?

Will the real UConn ever show up?

How do you stop Joakim Noah?

Who's man was Will Sheridan?

How many turnovers could Boston College possibly have in big spots?

Is there a bigger pest in college basketball than Kyle Lowry? A more underrated player?

How ridiculous would a Washington-George Mason regional final have sounded?

Can the Patriots keep this miracle going?

Who played worse down the stretch...Duke or Gonzaga?

Who were you happier to see lose...Redick or Morrison?

What was a better finish...UCLA-Gonzaga or Texas-WVU?

Is Memphis really this good or are their opponents no good?

When was the last time Duke looked so bad at the end of a game and just seemed to pack it in with a couple minutes to go?

Can Friday's games possibly top tonight's?

Ranking the Conferences

Here's how we would rank the multiple bid conferences after the first weekend of the Tourney...

1. Big East (9-4, 4 teams left)
2. ACC (6-2, 2 teams left)
3. SEC (7-4, 2 teams left)
4. Pac-10 (5-2, 2 teams left)
5. MVC (4-2, 2 teams left)
6. Big 12 (3-3, 1 team left)
7. Colonial (2-1, 1 team left)
8. C-USA (2-1, 1 team left)
9. Big Ten (3-6, 0 teams left)
10. A-10 (1-2, 0 teams left)
11. MWC (0-2)
12. WAC (0-2)

It was apparent this weekend that Utah State and Air Force did not deserve bids based upon their own performance and their conference performance. Cincinnati, Hofstra, Missouri State, Creighton, or Florida State all would have been better choices.
