Hello friends, and welcome to the final January edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! Today, I’d like to shift the focus away from the Power 5 conferences and instead hold a magnifying glass up to some of the many mid-majors who may end up making some noise come March.

After all the preseason hubbub about John Calipari’s next chapter, any discussion about who is in line to make the NCAA men’s basketball tournament’s field of 68 has to include this question: Where is Arkansas?

The college football season is over, which means it's time for the first men's basketball Bracketology. And the field is full of SEC teams.

As the calendar changes to the new year, conference play in college basketball begins to ramp up. With that comes the best teams in the nation pulling away from the pack. Who posted a good record in the non-conference portion of the schedule and is for real?
