Bracketology 2/15/16

Like my last couple brackets, this one and all others from here on out have a heavy reliance on my model I've developed to predict the committee. I tweaked it a bit today- I reduced the reliance on strength of schedule (both regular and non-conference). I'm still not totally satisfied with the current model, as it's definitely too high on teams like Arkansas Little Rock and Chattanooga that lead 1-bid leagues with good RPIs.

I'm trying to keep the "Also Considered" list more realistic- at this point there's no team outside the also considered list who has a chance at an at-large.
