NCAA Bracket Prediction - 19 Jan

The 1 and 2 seeds all stayed the same this week, but hardly anyone else stayed in the same spot after a wild week of basketball. The Big 10 lost 2 teams this week, with Iowa and Ohio State both dropping out, giving up their spots to SMU and North Texas. Here is my full current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and conference leaders in bold:
