Sports: NIT Bracketology

UPDATE: Here is 2007 NIT Bracketology.

UPDATE: Welcome Rutger fans! This post was the second of three "NIT Bracketology" posts. My most current 2006 NIT Bracketology is my third edition and I have Rutgers in the NIT. In my initial two posts on the topic, I was still in the mode of hunting for mid-major programs the NIT might want but upon reflection I think the NIT will bring in a lot more power conference teams because they have better RPIs and will make the NCAA (now owns the NIT) more dollars.

Okay, it is that time again for NIT Bracketology (and a mighty roar came up from the crowd) or how teams are playing themselves off the NCAA bubble into the NIT!
