Who am I and what do I know?
I am Eric Frisbee, a 24 year old alumni of the University of
Michigan. I majored in Sport Management there with studies in Sports Media. So
naturally I know what I'm talking about, right? Of course not. My true
experience comes simply from watching this game, analyzing various rating
systems, and observations of what has happened in the past.
Starting very young, I grew up waiting every year for the
greatest annual tournament in the world - March Madness. As I got older, I
expanded March Madness in my mind to the conference tournaments. After all,
with the winner of each conference tournament receiving an automatic bid to the
NCAA tournament - no team is eliminated from the NCAA tournament until they
are eliminated in their conference tournament. With this very simple
realization my obsession started. I found added meaning in games all season
long whether it was a fight for seeding, the traditional bubble games of teams
trying to make the field without the automatic berth, or simply jostling for a
better seed in the conference tournament. I created my own bracket projections
and bubble in order to identify the games that would have some impact, the
teams that were safe and the teams that needed to make a run, the conferences
that could produce bid thieves, with everything culminating in Championship
Week.
I tracked this info on my own for a few years, but this year decided to move it online. If you’ve read this far, hopefully you will find my insights meaningful. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
