Bracket Day Variables

 Okay, a few variables concerning today's games, most of which won't be news to bracket followers:

1. We'll sort out the VCU situation if they lose. I expect Mason to slot in as a 12/13, probably the latter.

2. Florida/Tennessee won't change their seeds, but if Tennessee wins I'll make them #5 overall, slightly passing the Tide, which didn't have a great finish to the year and got blown out by Florida yesterday.

3. If Cornell upsets Yale they'll slot in lower, maybe a 14, moving the others up.

4. I think the Big Ten result won't change either team's seed. Both are around a 4, though Wisconsin might be a 3 pending further research. Can't see Michigan getting that high and a loss to the Wolverines shouldn't ding the Badgers too much.

5. If UAB upsets Memphis, the Tigers will probably be a very dangerous 9 seed and UAB would be a 13, and the bubble will shrink.

Unsure right now if Mason will be a bid-stealer or if VCU will be dropped, it'll be close. There won't be more than two more 'stealers. If VCU gets in we'll do a scenario for a UAB win and a Memphis win.
