Welcome to the first bracketology post of 2021! While last year ended on a disappointing note with the pandemic cancelling the NCAA Tournament, we're excited at the prospect of having the Field of 68 selected this year. A quick administrative note for our absence thus far this season, but we're thrilled to announce a new addition to the MFM Family - a healthy baby boy on December 5th, 2020. Undoubtedly a huge college basketball fan in the making.

Given that this year's field will be played entirely in Indianapolis, we'll submit seed lists only up until Selection Sunday, then submit a full bracket for our final projection. As always, we love to hear feedback and friendly banter on our projections.
