Feast Week improved bracketology resumes for many different teams and conferences. Which teams made the biggest improvements?

As I have mentioned throughout the beginning of this new season, it is still way too early to discuss potential bracketology fields for the NCAA Tournament. And while we still do not know what will really classify as a “quality win” by March, there is no such thing as a bad victory. Every win matters at this point in the year and some are projected to be better than others.

Feast Week provided some outstanding matchups across the nation due to non-conference tournaments. With the Battle 4 Atlantis and the Maui Invitational (among others), this was an extremely special week of NCAA basketball action. Teams around the nation collected some outstanding wins and many unranked teams were able to make their mark on the year.

With this said, who were some of the top bracketology winners from this week? These winners were selected based on their recent play and performances compared to expectations. This means that teams that were already ranked heading into this season, most notably Gonzaga and Kansas, are not mentioned as winners this week despite monster performances due to the idea that they should already have strong resumes.

Now, let’s dive in.
