LRP: Mid-Major Team Rankings for March Madness
James Snook-USA TODAY Sports
March is here, let the Madness begin. A week left in the regular season, then numerous conference tourneys to breakdown and then the all mighty Big Dance, the March Madness Tourney itself. While arguments galore approach about who is in, who is out, bubble teams, the RPI ratings and etc., the only thing I am worried about is not the office pool bracket, or the survivor pool I will be in, but the Las Vegas Line aspect is where my career path takes me. Last year I did it better than most anyone banking a 72% ATS record out of 46 selections in conference tourneys (almost unheard of in this day and age and my best effort ever) in March Madness including the NIT, which I love to handicap every year as well. That ranked me #1 at Sportswatch, a respected monitoring service, so again the homework for this year’s effort has begun in earnest.
One thing I do is look at mid-major teams and rank them out, and of course watch them through their conference tourneys and check out their seeding in the big dance as well as the NIT. To continue reading, head over to Locker Room Picks.
