NCAA Bracket Prediction - 25 Jan

The top seeds remained the same this week, with Nebraska falling just short of the final #1 seed while remaining undefeated. UCLA returned to the field after upsetting Purdue, which knocked out Seton Hall, which has lost 4 games in a row. Miami (OH) remains undefeated as well, but they are still stuck as a #11 seed, thanks to their extremely weak schedule, with only 1 win against a team ranked in the top 100. Here is my full current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and conference leaders in bold:
