Well, I'm back with another seed list! Bracket may accompany tomorrow. Few things I'd like to mention:
1) Don't forget the seed list snakes. This means that it's like an s-curve, the top 2 seed is Indiana, the top 4 is New Mexico, etc.

2) I turned the Next 4 out section into the Next 7 out. The number of teams in that section will vary, it's sort of an "also considered" list.
3) Bubble teams just keep losing. Boise State and Temple are now in very precarious positions after losses. La Salle gets 2 huge wins against the top of the A-10 to become an 11 seed, Iowa State gets a big win over Kansas State as well. Wyoming is in a precarious position after a 2-3 start to conference play. 
4) I made some re-evaluations. I realized Memphis' resume sucks, for example, and Belmont's resume is better.
5) A quick, random note about BYU and Southern Miss. How can so many people have Southern Miss in and BYU out? Their resumes are practically identical, save the fact the Golden Eagles lost @ New Mexico State. Furthermore, BYU's conference is better.
6) Before you say "Put Villanova in! They beat Syracuse and Louisvlle!" I present to you Columbia and Providence.
7) Yes, I know Midlde Tennessee is in my bracket AND on my "First 4 Out" list. Their placement on the First 4 Out list is where they would be if they were not an auto-bid.
