We’ve come this far and just one more thing to get in before the season kicks off. You’ve seen the conference predictions, you seen the All-Americans and you’ve seen the rankings. We finally conclude the preview for the college basketball season by predicting the 2016 NCAA tournament bracket.

Everybody does it and it’s always a bit of a interesting project, but this is the big daddy. Sixty-eight teams, ranked and placed in matchups based on intrigue for TV viewership, how the potential matchups would line up and if it all makes sense.

Each conference is represented, some with many more than other conferences, play-in games and final predictions. These final predictions, though, aren’t meant to follow the basic formula. Not every No. 1 seed is going to go to the Final Four because that rarely happens and, frankly, that’s boring.

All four regions filled, every game predicted, a Final Four determined and a national champion chosen. It’s all here.

Get ready to get mad because this b-a-n-a-n-a-s!
