Bracketville –

You may not be familiar with Bracketville when it comes to bracketology, but they are a site that I trust considering they’ve been the most accurate year-over-year for the last couple of NCAA Tournaments.

That’s why it’s disappointing to see Jerry Palm’s dropping of Louisville confirmed and me having to eat crow. Bracketville also moved Chris Mack’s squad from a two seed down to a four seed following their back-to-back losses against Georgia Tech and Clemson.

Also like Palm, Bracketville has the Cards in the Midwest region, meaning a trip to Indianapolis would be on the line and has them playing their opening rounds in Omaha.

Getting away for Louisville will be good in my opinion, which is why I don’t mind them potentially being moved into the west bracket should they be able to get up to the three or two lines once again.
