NCAA Bracket Prediction - 4 Jan

There are 6 undefeated teams left in the country, and 3 of them are sitting in the #1 spots in my first bracket projection of the season, with Iowa State at a #2, Nebraska at a #3, and Miami (OH) as a #12. The Big Ten leads all conferences with 10 teams in, with 9 each from the ACC and SEC, and another 8 from the Big 12, though many of those will start to drop out once we get deeper into conference play and losses start to pile up. Here is my full current bracket:
