2016 PPB WatchList

If you are the type of person that believes in the eye-test and want to get a feel for tournament teams by watching their games, the PPB WatchList is perfect for you. The WatchList will highlight potential tournament teams that you should be watching using a color coding system below. I use the watch/record system. If a game is on, I watch. If two games are on, I watch one and record the other.

GREEN = Should be Locks for the tournament barring a in-season meltdown. Definitely watch their games.
YELLOW = Work to do, but most likely in. Should not be a waste of time to watch their games.
ORANGE = Right now, outside looking in, but could work their way into the dance with marquee wins. Any team in orange playing against another team in GREEN, YELLOW or ORANGE is a definite must-see game.

How to Use the PPB WatchList:32 Conferences = 32 Auto-Bids from Conference Tournament winners
12 Multi-bid conferences (listed below)
     -This is based on history and current resumes
     -Most likely going to be 7-9 multi-bid conferences this year.

68 Teams listed in the WatchList below
     -12 Teams will get Auto-Bids (may or may not be listed below)
     -36 Teams will get At-Large Berths (chosen from 68 teams below excluding tournament winners)
     -This means a potential 22-32 teams listed below will not make the dance (most likely in Orange)
