NCAA Bracket Prediction - 8 Feb

Undefeated Arizona has taken back the top overall spot in my latest bracket update, though it doesn't make much of a difference overall. All of the #1 and #2 seeds remained the same, with Kansas scooting past Vanderbilt to take a #3 spot. Down on the bubble, New Mexico lost to Utah State and Boise State this week, which dropped the Lobos out of the field, clearing the way for Texas, the first team out last week, to slip in this week. Here is my full current bracket:
