What my Bracketology would look like if we still used the RPI and not the new NET

Since there were no real big games on yesterday, I decided to sit down and do an exercise where I look at how the NCAA Tournament would look if we still used the RPI, feel free to compare this Bracketology to the one I posted yesterday with the link posted at the bottom. that version is heavily reliant on the NET Rankings. If your team is lower than you would expect don’t worry we have the NET Rankings around so the tournament field won’t look like this.
