Bracketology 3/8/20

A crazy day leads to massive changes throughout the seed list. At the top, I've moved Dayton to a #1 seed for the first time all year, replacing San Diego State after the Aztecs' loss to Utah State. That locked up a bid for the Aggies, who were probably out with a loss.

At the bubble, I've moved Stanford in, as well as Utah State. They're replacing Northern Iowa and Purdue, after the Boilers' loss to Rutgers. I feel decent about the bubble right now, anyone outside the first four out is going to need quite a conference tournament run to make the field.
