NCAA Bracket Prediction - 11 Jan

Michigan lost yesterday for the first time this season, but they are still the #1 overall seed in my latest bracket, but it was not as clear-cut as last week. Iowa State, who is still undefeated, moved up to become a #1 seed, replacing Vanderbilt, who is also undefeated, but comes from a slightly weaker conference. Wisconsin joined the field after upsetting Michigan, Oklahoma State moved in after beating UCF, despite losing to Iowa State yesterday, Texas A&M got in after winning at Auburn, and New Mexico gave the MWC a second team. Here is my current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and current conference leaders in bold:
