Think you have what it takes to hash out a fair 68-team bracket? Convinced the Selection Committee has it easy? Find out for yourself as Busting Brackets invites you into the selection room for a simulated look at the challenges the ten-member panel confronts on a daily basis.
Next up on the agenda: bubble teams. Parse the résumés of the three teams below, then determine yourself which contender is most deserving of an at-large berth.
Consistent with war room protocol, Busting Brackets has concealed the names of the teams to eliminate empirical bias and prejudice.
