Bracketology 2/7/13

The 1 seeds are a complete mess. I'd say that the top 7 teams on my S-curve all have a claim to being a 1 seed, but Kansas barely edges out Arizona for the last spot. Down near the bubble, Indiana State plays its way in after a big win over Creighton. Southern Miss accomplishes a more common feat, playing itself out after a loss to UCF. Illinois is nearing the razor blade of the cut line, and the Atlantic 10 continues to have a ton of bubble games. UMass, Charlotte, Saint Joe's, La Salle and Temple are all very bubbly right now. No bracket today, sadly.
