NCAA Bracket Prediction - 8 Mar

After falling out of the bracket last Friday, Michigan State jumped back in once again over the weekend after upsetting Michigan, who is still a 1-seed in the latest bracket. To make room for the Spartans again, Xavier dropped out of the field, but they are still the closest team among those on the outside. Here is my full current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and projected conference champs in bold:
