Have not had time to do as much this year and this is my first bracket in full this season. Hoping to do more leading up to Selection Sunday. I know this one will be a little rough as I'm refamiliarizing myself with everything.
I'm very interested to see what the committee does with Miami OH if they run the table, and whether they get in with a loss or two. I think if they lose in the MAC (especially to Akron) they get a play-in date, but two losses might do them in.
The last 1-seed will be interesting - but I bet UConn holds it since their toughest competition is behind them now that they're done with the Johnnies. I think Iowa State could take it if they win out and win the B12 tournament since they'll have beaten stiffer competition than the Huskies along the way. Something to watch.
St. Louis will be safely in, barring a major slump. Can VCU or Dayton pull themselves back onto the bubble? VCU is closer but Dayton has the better win. There is the season finale between the two... but Dayton is way back right now. A-10 has to hope one of these two beats StL for the autobid if they want two teams in. I love bid thieves.
