New material rolling out in advance of December 1:

Even though Bracketscience.com doesn't officially open until December 1, I've been quietly updating parts of the site and adding new articles. That's a good thing, because many of you are already signing up and I want to reward your enthusiasm. Here's what's new:

- The Bracketmaster is updated with last year's tourney results.

- The first six articles in "Feature Articles" are new, including analysis on the top coaches, teams and conferences of the 25- year, 64- team era; a more robust look at champ credentials; new Madometer readings and the outlook for unpredictability in 2010; and a countdown of the top 10 tourney outliers.

- All the charts for the 75 schools under "Team Talk" have been updated. I'm in the process of writing up the previews for all the schools- - and will likely be adding 25 more teams to the list this year.

By the time December 1 rolls around, all the graphics on the home page will be updated, more articles will get posted, and the blog will begin in earnest. I'll send out an email note letting everyone know when the site is ready to explore.

Thanks to everyone who's signing up early! ... more » « less
