NCAA Tournament Bracket Prediction - March 2, 2018

NCAA Tournament Bracket Prediction - March 2, 2018

Just a little sweep through with minimal changes.  I bumped Arizona up now that Trier has been re-instated.  I still am struggling with the last #5 seed, so Miami keeps being a placeholder until someone grabs it.  Minor tweaks below that. 

Seeds

1's - Virgina, Villanova, Xavier, Kansas
2's - Michigan State, North Carolina, Purdue, Duke
3's - Auburn, Tennessee, Cincinnati, Clemson
4's - West Virginia, Wichita State, Texas Tech, Arizona
5's - Kentucky, Ohio State, Michigan, Miami (FL)
6's - Houston, TCU, Virginia Tech, Florida
7's - Gonzaga, Rhode Island, Nevada, Arkansas
8's - Florida State, Seton Hall, Texas A&M, Creighton
9's - NC State, USC, Missouri, Arizona State
10's - Butler, Oklahoma, Providence, St. Bonaventure
11's - Middle Tennessee, Louisville, Kansas State, (Washington, St. Mary's)
12's - (Baylor, Alabama)* Loyola, Louisiana, Buffalo
13's - New Mexico State, South Dakota State, Vermont, Murray State
14's - Rider, Northeastern, Bucknell, UNCG
15's - Montana, Penn, Northern Kentucky, UC-Davis
16's - UNC-Asheville, Wagner (Prairie View A&M, Bethune-Cookman, FGCU, Nicholls State)

First 4 out - Texas, UCLA, Marquette, Syracuse

*Even though I don't believe the committee will feed a play-in game to San Diego, for purposes of seeding I am not concerned with that at this point
