Bracketology 1/5/20

The first Saturday of conference play bought plenty of changes to the seed list. Moving into the field are Wisconsin, who picked up one of the wins of the season at Ohio State, and LSU, who knocked off Tennessee. Other big winners include Florida State, who is into the protected seeds after beating Louisville, and Penn State who beat Iowa.

The race for the 1 seeds is getting interesting, and San Diego State is a legitimate player. The Aztecs could be double digit favorites in every game until their last at Nevada, and own 3 wins away from home against teams in the top half of the field. The road to a 1 seed from a 1 bid league is tough, but a lack of clear candidates elsewhere will help them out.

There will likely only be 1 update a week for the next 2 weeks, as I'm going to be travelling out of the country.
