Wednesday's Daily Bracketology: New #1
Another day, another daily Field of 65. (Except no Saturday's since there's little action Friday). This is a field based on how the tourney looks "as of this moment." For one-bid leagues, I simply include the conference leader at the time of publishing. In case of ties, I use my projected winner.
Arrows indicate a team that moved up or down based on last night's performance. (Just because a team won or lost doesn't necessarily mean they'll move substantially.)
Also check out today's Early Bird Prediction: #1.. a filled in tournament bracket based on today's Bracketology!
Note on Wednesday's Movement: Tennessee's quick reign as the top seed came to an end, replaced by former victim Memphis. Vanderbilt's big win moves them up to a 4 seed, replacing Butler who drops down to a 5. Drake, formerly a 5, drops down to the first #6 seed, giving a boost to idle Marquette. A road win by BYU over a quality New Mexico squad pushes them past Gonzaga and St. Mary's in the 7 pod. Not surprisingly, Ohio State lost once again to a good team.. and finally drops out of the field, being replaced by UAB. UAB has a tough test tonight at UTEP and could be replaced by Houston or SIU who has slowly risen into contention.
