Early Bracketology: 12/15/09

 As conference play nears, more and more teams try to improve their NCAA Tournament resumes for March. Saying that, I bring you my first bracketology update of the season. As the year progresses and we get closer to Selection Sunday, my updates will become more frequent, as well as the bracket taking more form and becoming more fancy.

 Right now I have the teams seeded according to what I believe they should be. As of right now, I'm including about 10% preseason expectations and 90% season play. So if some teams are in question, you will understand why. For those of you that don't know, this is my first year to do a hands' on bracketology, so bear with me. I would love to have questions and comments regarding my teams and their placement.

So, without further adieu, I give you my first Bracketology Update. This will only include the seeds of the teams. No brackets and matchups quite yet, but be prepared for that.
