Another perk here is that since I'm an Accounting student, I work with Excel a lot, so I'll even try to make some sweet-looking brackets for my prediction, sort of as a test run for the bigger conference tournies next week. Well, the brackets probably won't be cool to you, but they'll be cool to me, and that's what really matters.
Comments: More good CAA reading can be found at this blog (and the writer is also the author of the new book I just bought, which is nice). Right now there are probably 4 teams with a shot at making the Tourney as an at-large, but no one is really guaranteed a bid. Drexel and ODU have some nice wins, but they might have to at least make it to the Finals to get an at-large bid. Hofstra is probably out of luck again unless they win the Tourney, and VCU probably needs to at least win their opener to be safe. In the end, I'll go with Drexel, the team with non-conference road wins against Villanova and Syracuse, to remove all at-large doubts and clinch the auto bid.
Comments: The at-large picture here is a little clearer than the one in the CAA, but not by much. Southern Illinois is in. Creighton is probably in, but needs at least 1 more win to make sure. Missouri St. might be in, but they better beat Wichita St. in their tourney opener, and another win in the semis would assure them. If Bradley can get to the Tourney Finals, they'll have a shot. Everyone else is playing for their lives. The upset I see is a mini one, with Missouri St. punching their ticket to the Dance with a win over Creighton. In the finals, Southern Illinois is just too strong offensively and defensively. I like them to win it.
What are your predictions?

nice work with the Excel my frind. I was thinking of scanning in brackets for my picks but that is an even better idea. How did you get them on there though? Just like a regular image insert?
I hope you don't mind if I maybe give that a try (all credit goin to you if ican get it though).
P.S. Like the picks. Goin bold with Drexel and i like it.
I like the Drexel pick. But Im going with Old Dominion in the CAA and I gotta go with ya on Southern Illinois.
Joe, Yep you just have to save them as a jpg (I had to save the small part of Excel into Paint), and then you just insert it like a regular image.
You're smart. That's complicated. I wouldn't have thought of that. Then you can never delete them tho right? Cuz then they wont show up in the archived article am i correct?
Good question and I'm not sure... I normally just keep my photos saved on my computer so I don't know what would happen if you deleted them.
great to get some mid-major action, Twins. Both fun conferences, i'll go with ODU and SIU.
SIU is the clear favorite here in the MVC. I'll take Creighton though.
