NCAA Bracket Prediction - 27 Jan

Michigan's domination of Indiana this weekend allowed the Wolverines to reclaim one of the #1 seeds, taking it back from Tennessee, who narrowly escaped against Vanderbilt earlier in the week. Arizona and San Francisco dropped from the bracket, replaced by Creighton and Minnesota, but both are still among the teams just outside and could easily climb back in. Here is my full current bracket, with projected conference champs in bold, new teams in italics, rising teams in green, and falling teams in red:
