There's a big shakeup on the 1 line as Kansas, Kentucky and Villanova all lose. Kansas and Kentucky both fall to the 2 line, while Villanova cedes the top overall seed to Baylor. Undefeated Gonzaga and Florida State move up to the 1 line. The Zags probably need to go undefeated to get a 1 seed, though they may be able to afford a single loss to St. Mary's. Florida State has more opportunities to pad their resume. At the bubble, Tennessee moves into serious contention with the win over Kentucky and is now my first team out, while Marquette's win over Villanova vaults them off the bubble for now.
