NCAA Bracket Prediction - 15 Feb

Baylor's win over Texas this weekend was enough to get the Bears back among the #1 seeds, which pushed Purdue back to a #2, which nearly happened last week after they lost to Michigan. Memphis and SMU both jumped into the field after beating Houston, and Miami finally made it back in as well. North Texas is now the projected winner of Conference USA, with UAB falling out but not completely out of the running for an at-large berth, and the same happened in the Atlantic 10, where Dayton is now the projected winner, with Davidson now sitting outside the field. Here is my current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and projected conference champs in bold:
