NCAA Bracket Prediction - 8 Mar

Gonzaga's win over San Francisco put them back ahead of Arizona for a #1 seed, while losses from Wisconsin and Duke dropped both down to #3 seeds, allowing Villanova and Purdue to move back up a line. VCU and Indiana fell out of the bracket, replaced by SMU and Oklahoma, though the Sooners are likely just a placeholder, because they will be knocked out with their next loss, which should occur in the conference tournament this week. If they don't lose, they wouldn't be an at-large team anyway, but for now, they look better than the teams that are currently outside. Here is my full current bracket, with falling teams in red, rising teams in green, new teams in italics, and projected conference champs in bold:
