Bracketology 1/25/18
The biggest surprise last night was South Carolina's win at Florida. The Gamecocks are now in the First Four Out, where they're joined by fellow SEC teams LSU and Georgia. In addition to those 3, the SEC has 8 teams in this bracket. Mississippi and Vanderbilt are the only teams in the conference not in bracket consideration.
Out west, Nevada fell at Wyoming last night in a double-OT thriller. I was prepared to move the Wolfpack down quite a bit, only to realize that Wyoming's RPI was a shockingly high 58 and so it counts as a tier 1 loss. Thus, Nevada remains in the top half of the bracket.
1: Villanova, Virginia, Duke, Purdue
2: Xavier, Kansas, Oklahoma, Cincinnati
3: West Virginia, North Carolina, Clemson, Auburn
4: Texas Tech, Arizona, Michigan State, Arizona State
5: Seton Hall, TCU, Ohio State, Miami (FL)
6: Creighton, Tennessee, Florida, Rhode Island
7: Wichita State, Texas, Kentucky, Gonzaga
8: St. Mary's, Michigan, Nevada, Louisville
9: Providence, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Florida State
10: Butler, Kansas State, Houston, Alabama
11: USC, Boise State, (Missouri/Marquette), (SMU/Middle Tennessee)
12: Western Kentucky, New Mexico State, Louisiana, Murray State
13: East Tennessee State, Northern Kentucky, Vermont, South Dakota
14: Buffalo, Loyola Chicago, Montana, UC Santa Barbara
15: Northeastern, Bucknell, Princeton, Florida Gulf Coast
16: Canisius, Winthrop, (Wagner/Nicholls State), (Bethune Cookman/Arkansas-Pine Bluff)
First Four Out: LSU, Georgia, South Carolina, Notre Dame
Next Four Out: Oklahoma State, North Carolina State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech
Also Considered: Washington, Western Kentucky, Baylor, UCLA, Utah, New Mexico State, Oregon, BYU, Maryland, St. Bonaventure, UCF, Colorado, Mississippi State
Moving In: Middle Tennessee, South Dakota, Nicholls State
Moving Out: Georgia, South Dakota State, Stephen F. Austin
