Bracketology 1/25/2021

Selection Sunday is now 7 weeks away, which leaves plenty of time for movement in the seed list.

One big winner of the weekend was Missouri, who picked up a big win at Tennessee which bumped them up to a 3 seed. The Tigers are probably not as good as their seed would indicate, but their resume is hard to argue with. On the other end, Oregon was probably the weekend’s biggest loser. The Ducks lost at home to sub-100 Oregon State. The Ducks’ best win is either Seton Hall in Omaha, or Stanford at home, neither of which is fantastic.
