2019 SIMULATED NCAA TOURNAMENT BRACKET 9.16.2019

Here is my simulated NCAA Tournament bracket based on the actual results of games played through Sunday, September 15, and simulated results of all remaining games including conference tournament games.  The code for the numbers in the NCAA Seed or Selection column is:

1 = #1 seed
2 = #2 seed
3 = #3 seed
4 = #4 seed
5 = unseeded automatic qualifier (conference champion)
6 = unseeded at large selection
6.5 = top 60 team tied for last at large selection, with the tie breaker being top 50 results score
7 = top 60 team not getting an at large selection
8 = top 60 team disqualified due to record below 0.5000
9 = top 80 team that might be a reasonable candidate for an at large selection if within the top 60
