Bracketology 1/13/13
Few things that I want to mention:
1) I knew I was right about having Missouri so low. They really laid an egg today against Ole Miss. It wasn't competitive.
2) So many bubble teams squandered opportunities today. Saint Louis and Indiana State come to mind.
3) Well, Illinois State fell out of the bubble conversation pretty fast. They're now 0-5 in MVC play.
4) Texas A&M was the real bubble winner. They got a huge road win in Lexington and jumped from my 10th team out to my 2nd team out thanks to favorable results elsewhere. With the way bubble teams are playing, I would not be surprised to see them inn the bracket soon without playing another game.
5) I decided to drop Duke to my 2nd overall seed, but strongly considered keeping them ahead of Michigan. We'll see what happens in Columbus tomorrow.
