Welcome to the Heat Check CBB bracketology page!
WHY SHOULD I Read HEAT CHECK CBB BRACKETOLOGY?
Heat Check CBB’s Lukas Harkins is one of the most accurate bracketologists in all of college basketball media.
Harkins has six total years of experience in March Madness projections, consistently providing updated bracket predictions, team analysis, and “bubble watch” deep dives. He has scored above the Bracket Matrix average in five of six years.
Is there any value to midseason bracketology?
Harkins released his first in-season bracket on Jan. 7th last season. Of the top 48 teams (excluding mid-major auto-bids) in that snapshot, 40 earned NCAA Tournament bids in March — 31 within two seed lines of their finishing point and nine exactly on their eventual seed line.
