NCAA Bracket Prediction - 11 Mar

The very bottom of the bracket has seen a bit of movement this week as upsets have raged through the minor conferences, while the very top of the bracket remains very steady, with only a few minor moves among the top 4 seeds in each region. No at-large teams dropped out this week, but a couple have crept closer to the edge, while a few others have given themselves a little breathing room. Here is my current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and projected conference champs in bold:
