Men’s Bracketology 12/1/2025

It’s been a fun first month of the season. I’ve been especially enjoying it as a Michigan State fan, as we own double digit wins over Kentucky and North Carolina on neutral courts.

Nationally, the biggest story to me has been the demise of the Big East. A lot of people were hypothesizing that the Big East was well positioned for the revenue share era as those teams don’t have to split funds with their football programs. UConn looks solid, but St. John’s has had a rough start to the season, and the rest of the league looks awful. I have Villanova just barely in the field, and Butler in the conversation, but it’s crazy that the league has so many bad teams.

I’ll be back with another update in two weeks or so.
