College Basketball 2012 - Field of 68 - December 11, 2012

It is time for my first update to the pre-season Field of 68.  Right now, the Field is an amalgamation of both what has transpired thus far in the season and what might be expected for the remainder.  There is no science right now to my madness, as it is still too early to put any numbers to work in crunching the field.  Currently, the only number I am using is 3, which is the maximum number of losses I am allowing for an at-large team in the Field.
