NCAA Bracket Prediction - 6 Mar

There are just 5 days remaining until the bracket is released, but there are still plenty of conference tournament games that can cause teams to shift around and help teams switch their side of the bubble. Xavier took the 4th #1 seed from Purdue this week after the Boilermakers fell in the Big 10 final. Here is my full current bracket projection, with projected conference champs in bold, new teams in italics, rising teams in green, and falling teams in red:
