After a full weekend, the bracket continues to go through constant scrubbing and changes. Today, I will put a little focus on the battle for the 1-seeds. I am seeing a lot of the bracketology world with Houston solidly on the 1-line as opposed to 3 SEC teams. A couple weeks ago, the committee met for its mock procedure of seeding the top 16 seeds. At that time, the SEC had 5 of the 6 top spots and Houston was #8. Houston has not lost since that day and has defeated Arizona, Iowa State and Texas Tech. Tennessee was #5 in that procedure and also has not lost since that day, picking up wins over Vanderbilt, Texas A&M and Alabama. I don't see how Houston would have jumped ahead of Tennessee based on that, so Tennessee assumes the #3 overall spot behind Auburn and Duke. Alabama has lost 3 games since the top 16 reveal, which does drop them behind Houston. So the last #1 spot comes down to Florida or Houston. Florida has gone 4-1 since the mock was done, losing at Georgia and adding a win over Texas A&M. It is razor thin, but I will side with Houston as the #4 and final one-seed. A Florida victory at Alabama would likely flip it back as Florida would be 2-0 vs Auburn and Alabama and Houston is 0-2 against those same 2 common opponents.
