Bracketoloy: February 23rd
The Bracketology field is based on how the tourney looks "as of this moment." Arrows indicate the amount of seeds a team moved since the last update. (Just because a team won or lost doesn't necessarily mean they'll move substantially though.)
Why should you care what I have to say? Did you know, last year I was considered to have one of the Top 2 or 3 brackets (depending on the scoring rubric) amongst 53 national experts including Joe Lunardi, Gary Parrish and the like).
Movement:
Previous update was February 20th. Arrows indicate movement by seed. Two arrows equals a change of two seeds, etc..
To major changes at the top. Kansas moves up merely due to its continually improving RPI at the expense of Marquette. Lots of jostling in the middle seeds, especially with big wins by Texas and Kentucky over the weekend. UNLV is back in the field thanks to a huge win over UNLV, while Temple makes their debut due to the continual struggles of Virginia Tech.
*The late Arizona/ASU game is not accounted for in this update (I need sleep!).
