Welcome to the first bracketology post of 2022! Here at MFM we're excited to enter our fifth consecutive year of analyzing the crazy scenarios that are predicting the March Madness field and understanding what the committee may or may not do. We're also excited at the prospect for having a return to a somewhat normal March Madness with cheering fans in the arenas.

A quick administrative note for our absence thus far this season, as MFM's sole operator has recently launched a business in Charleston, SC. While this has taken some time on the backend, we're ecstatic to be back to making prognostications about the tournament field and we've been keeping up with our college basketball watching each night. See you in March.
