Joey Brackets is a year-round phenomenon. You may not have noticed that he publishes his NCAA Tournament bracket projections year-round prior to all the stay-at-home orders, but he’s been doing it for years. He just released his latest projections on ESPN and has Ohio State on the move upward on the seed line.
Last time we checked in, the expert “bracketologist” had the Buckeyes as a No. 5 seed. Now, after thinking things through apparently, Lunardi has decided to move OSU up one spot to a No. 4 seed, and has placed it in the East against No. 13 seed Belmont. Tennessee and Kentucky both moved down a line to a No. 5 seed, and that’s most likely the reason for the upward movement.
If this bracket were to hold true, Ohio State would be in the same bracket as No. 1 seed Villanova and No. 2 seed Duke. This will all change, but Lunardi has the Buckeyes playing out of Providence.
