NCAA Bracket Prediction - 22 Feb

SMU beat Memphis in a game over the weekend, and the two teams switched spots as a result, with the Mustangs moving into the bracket, while Memphis takes a seat on the outside. Davidson is also back in the bracket as the projected champ of the Atlantic 10, while Dayton has been moved back to the outside, but still close enough that they have a real chance to make it as an at-large. Here is my current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and projected conference champs in bold:
