I guess with Howie doing Thursdays, I can fill in on Mondays.

Hello, college basketball fans!

This is the second Schmolik 64 update for 2007. This is my 14th
season doing the Schmolik 64. I will be making updates periodically
up to Selection Sunday, March 11, 2007. My final bracket will be done
after the Big 10 championship on Selection Sunday.

I only choose up to the top 12 seeds in each regional until
Championship Week since the bottom four are usually reserved for
champions of "one-bid" conferences. Most of the teams that "lead"
those conferences now will not gain automatic bids because they fail
to win their conference tournament. Giving these teams a "seed" would
not be accurate, even if the teams do win their automatic berth since
their seed may change due to their position among the eventual teams
in those bottom seeds.
