1 Seed

  • Duke (Clinched berth)

  • Arizona (Clinched berth)

  • Michigan

  • Florida

Nothing changes. Duke and Arizona locks up the top two spots while Michigan is basically a shoe in at three. Florida on the other hand is in a three way race with UConn and Houston who all lost yesterday as well, but I am giving the edge to Florida for now.

2 Seed

  • Houston

  • UConn

  • Iowa State

  • Michigan State

Just flipping Houston and UConn and Iowa State and Michigan State just because.

3 Seed

  • Illinois

  • Gonzaga (Clinched berth)

  • St. John's (Clinched berth)

  • Alabama

No changes here even though I am hearing talks of Purdue being as high as a two seed and Virginia not far off either.

4 Seed

  • Purdue

  • Virginia

  • Nebraska

  • Vanderbilt

Moving Kansas off the four spot and putting Vandy in there. I expect the SEC winner to be the four seed.

5 Seed

  • Arkansas

  • Kansas

  • Texas Tech

  • Tennessee

Putting Arkansas as the top 5 seed in case they beat Vandy.

6 Seed

  • Wisconsin

  • Louisville

  • Kentucky

  • Saint Mary's

Untouched.

  • North Carolina

  • Miami (FL)

Not touched as well.

  • UCLA

  • Clemson

  • Ohio State

  • Georgia

No changes as well.

9 Seed

  • Iowa

  • Santa Clara

  • Utah State (Clinched berth)

  • UCF

Moving Utah State into this spot cause I should had moved them yesterday.

10 Seed

  • Miami (OH)

  • TCU

  • Missouri

  • VCU

Saint Louis goes from top 10 seed to all the way to the bottom of the at large. VCU joins to replace their A-10 brother.

11 Seed

  • Saint Louis

  • USF

  • Texas A&M/SMU

  • NC State/Texas

Saint Louis gets the last bye while Texas A&M goes to the First Four.

12 Seed

  • Yale

  • Akron (Clinched berth)

  • High Point (Clinched berth)

  • McNeese (Clinched berth)

No movement.

13 Seed

  • North Dakota State (Clinched berth)

  • Northern Iowa (Clinched berth)

  • Troy (Clinched berth)

  • Hofstra (Clinched berth)

Hofstra returns after that UC Irvine loss.

14 Seed

  • Kennesaw State (Clinched berth)

  • Hawaii (Clinched berth)

  • Furman (Clinched berth)

  • Wright State (Clinched berth)

Furman moves up, Kennesaw State and Hawaii replaces Louisiana Tech and UC Irvine after winning their conferences.

15 Seed

  • Cal Baptist (Clinched berth)

  • UMBC (Clinched berth)

  • Siena (Clinched berth)

  • Tennessee State (Clinched berth)

Have seen people say Tennessee State is a 13 or 14 seed, I like them at 15 due to their weak schedule.

16 Seed

  • LIU (Clinched berth)

  • Queens (NC) Clinched berth)

  • Idaho (Clinched berth)/Howard (Clinched berth)

  • Lehigh/Prairie View A&M (Clinched berth)

Stays about the same except for the PVAM change with them beating Southern.

Last Four Byes

  • Miami (OH)

  • TCU

  • Missouri

  • Saint Louis

Last Four In

  • NC State

  • Texas

  • SMU

First Four Out
