Bracketology 2/5/18
A huge weekend sees many changes- headlined by a new #1 seed: Auburn. With both Kansas and Duke losing, I had lots of options at the end of the 1-line, but Auburn has such a depth of quality wins that I chose them over Xavier and Kansas.
I also re-evaluated every team's resume yesterday, and there's a lot of moves during that. Some teams (such as Duke, Ohio State and TCU) have less meat on their resume than I realized, while others (such as Rhode Island, Alabama and Washington) have more.
1: Virginia, Villanova, Purdue, Auburn
2: Xavier, Kansas, Cincinnati, Clemson
3: Texas Tech, Tennessee, Michigan State, Duke
4: Kentucky, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, North Carolina
5: West Virginia, Arizona, Florida, Miami (FL)
6: St. Mary's, Wichita State, Florida State, Seton Hall
7: Gonzaga, Alabama, Creighton, Ohio State
8: Nevada, Texas, Butler, Louisville
9: Providence, Missouri, Michigan, TCU
10: Washington, Arizona State, Texas A&M, Arkansas
11: Houston, Middle Tennessee, USC, (North Carolina State/LSU)
12: (Georgia/Kansas State), New Mexico State, Loyola Chicago, Louisiana
13: Buffalo, Vermont, East Tennessee State, Montana
14: Northern Kentucky, Belmont, South Dakota State, UC Santa Barbara
15: Bucknell, Florida Gulf Coast, Charleston, Rider
16: Wagner, Penn, (UNC Asheville/Nicholls State), (North Carolina A&T/Arkansas Pine Bluff)
First Four Out: Virginia Tech, Boise State, St. Bonaventure, Mississippi State
Next Four Out: South Carolina, SMU, Utah, Oklahoma State
In Consideration: New Mexico State, Syracuse, UCLA, Loyola Chicago, Marquette, Western Kentucky, Nebraska, Maryland, Louisiana
On the Brink: BYU, Temple, Colorado, Buffalo, Notre Dame, Oregon, UCF, Baylor, Boston College
Moving In: LSU, Belmont, Charleston, Penn, Nicholls State, Arkansas Pine Bluff
