College Basketball 2013-14 - Field of 68 (January 3, 2014 edition)

A few things happened Thursday night.  Michigan won at Minnesota, pushing them back into the bracket after a short hiatus.  This home loss could signal that Minnesota is more the team we thought in the pre-season and is headed for a couple months on the bubble.  For now, I will drop them a seed from yesterday.  Conveniently, Stanford opened PAC-12 play with a home loss and has disappeared from today's Field.  Memo to Stanford...beating only Connecticut will not get you into the Field.  St. Mary's was blown out by Gonzaga and is barely holding onto a spot.  With very few chances at quality wins, the Gaels are one bad loss from being on the wrong side of the bubble.  I also flipped Dayton and George Washington's seeds, mostly because I can.  I will try and bracket these up at some point as well.
