Scott Bell's projected NCAA Tournament bracket

This post is unlocked and available for all readers.

I’ve always been intrigued by the bracket-projection process.

So as we wait for the bracket reveal later tonight, here’s my attempt at a projected bracket:

Also, an FYI — I’ll be hosting NCAA Tournament bracket contests for both free and premium subscribers. The free subscriber event will be just for bragging rights. The premium contest will have prizes. More details on that once the brackets are unveiled.
