We are less than 24 hours away from the start of the NAIA DII national tournament. In my opinion, it is the greatest three days of sports. Period. 24 games in about 63 hours to get to the quarterfinals on Saturday. I look forward to it every year!

New Bracketology is live. Important note on this one: According to the latest Top 25 poll, IUN would be in and Madonna out with SEU as final team in. I don't think IUN survives bubble in final poll and have included MU in bracket; SEU still final bubble team.

To clarify my following bracketology, conference teams get separated as much as possible (at least QF rd before meeting), teams that have played in regular season cannot meet 1st round). Seed lines trump top 25 rankings.

My annual tradition of a post-Selection Show hypothetical Invitational Tournament. The top remaining teams of each ARC get ranked 1-6, second remaining teams in each ARC ranked 7-12, take the remaining highest RPI/NET/SOS/Win% teams in that order ranked 13-16. Who says no??

Here is my report card for the 2024 Bracket.. went 0-for on the matchups and focused a little too heavily on geographical location when placing teams, causing a domino effect in my bracketology, but felt good otherwise. Since 2010, I am now 616/624 for 98.7% correctly picked.

Likely my final bracketology before the official bracket comes out tonight. As much as I wanted to change a lot of things around, this is the way that works best I feel like for all teams. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Figured I'd throw out my bracketology after Saturday's action. Since the start of the 2017-18 season I have been the SID at Bethel (Ind.) so I have stepped back from posting on here, but have not stopped by bracketology-making.

One more bracketology coming after tonight’s games. It is unlikely the games Tuesday would move the needle for seeding to necessitate another one. So unless something drastic happens between tonight and the selection show, tonight will likely be my final bracketology of the year.
