Bracket Watch season premiere

Welcome to the 2nd season of Howard Salwasser's Bracket Watch. Hope you're ready for the exictement of Bracketology Season, because it should be fun. Before releasing the first projection(as of Sunday night's games), here is a reminder of how we roll at HSBW.
First, all teams that are deemed Automatic qualifiers-The Conference they represent are listed in parenthesis-are those teams that...
A: Have the best record in the conference either through head to head or games played or
B: If there teams tied at the top and they haven't met in the season, the best RPI rank after the most recent league game played. Starting this year, due to the fact Ken Pomeroy no longer does RPI info on his site anymore, I'll use the RPI data found at Rivals.com.
Second, the at-large teams are chosen as if it's a consensus of the committee on Selection Sunday.

Now that we have that out of the way, here's the first projection of the season:
