NCAA Bracket Prediction - 2 Feb

Iowa State lost twice this week, first to Arizona in overtime, then to Kansas State, who is not even close to making the tournament, and those losses combined to drop the Hawkeyes from the #1 seed line, opening up a spot for Florida, the third SEC school to sit at #1 currently. On the bubble, BYU and SMU made their way into the field, pushing out North Carolina and UCF, so each conference still has the same number of teams. Here is my full current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, conference leaders in bold, and new teams in italics:
