After another week of college basketball, it is time to update the JC Hoops Bracketology seed list. Despite Arkansas dropping two of its last three games, the Razorbacks still seems to be in a favorable spot in NCAA Tournament seedings.
People have asked how I come up with my seed lines, so I figured I'd give a brief explanation of my personal process. Every bracketologist is different, so this is just my process.
First, I compile a list of 75-plus teams. I generated a weighted formula that takes into account each team's resume metrics (KPI, Strength of Record) and predictive metrics (Basketball Power Index, KenPom and Sagarin). That formula is weighted tilting in favor of the predictive metrics based on the selection committee's history.
From there, I organize that number, I call it a valuation number, in order from lowest to highest with the associated team. That's when I start adjusting the valuation seed lines by looking at all the quadrant records, home, neutral site and away records, NET, and other criteria not accounted for in the formula. This seed line is the result of all of that.
Some insight into my process. I have a weighted formula that gives each team a number, then I place all the teams in order based on that value and give them a valuation seed.

From there I adjust based on how it seems the committee weighs things like quadrant records and such. pic.twitter.com/yOztSvJZWU
