Well, it’s finally here. Selection Sunday. In EPW terms, this should be a pretty uneventful day. The four #1 seeds should be set. Saint Joseph’s ranking, for me, puts them in win or lose. I’m putting up the ratings going into today’s games right now, and will update them accordingly after each game. Sometime after 5:00pm, I will post the final rankings list and the official EPW bracket. I will attempt to stick to the seed order as much as possible, but I will be going through the entire bracket like the exercise I posted on Friday.
