NCAA Bracket Prediction - 1 Mar

There was a lot of action around the bubble this week, with the Big 10 losing two teams from the field, as Indiana and USC fell out, while the SEC swapped one Tiger for another, Auburn for Missouri. TCU and VCU joined the field in place of the Big 10 droppers, while San Diego State looked like they would move into the field after defeating Utah State, only to fall to New Mexico a couple days later. Here is my full current bracket:

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:
