Bracketology 3/7/2022

It was a weekend of clarity on the bubble as most of the teams who were barely in the field (Michigan, Memphis, Rutgers etc.) won while those who were barely out of it (VCU, Florida, Virginia Tech etc.) lost. I suspect there is probably a lot of consensus among the first 67 teams in the field and most people will have SMU in the last spot as well.

I have a full bracket below my seed list as well today. I will be updating my seed list daily from now until Selection Sunday.
