NCAA Bracket Prediction - 8 Mar

Duke has taken over as the #1 overall seed with only 1 week to go until Selection Sunday, a spot that has been held down all season by either Michigan or Arizona, who are also locks for #1 seeds. Florida moved up to the final #1 spot, dislodging UConn, whose loss to Marquette cost them that spot. Indiana edged back into the field, not based on anything they did right, but based on New Mexico playing themselves out of the field with a pair of losses. Here is my full current bracket:
