Last Four In: Miami (FL), Campbell, UCF, Texas Tech
First Four Out: West Virginia, Auburn, Nebraska, UC Santa Barbara
Since we are well into conference play, I wanted to update the bracket. There are many ACC and SEC teams in the field this week. Of course, I expect these numbers to drop before the end of the season. I don’t see the SEC having 12 teams in at the end of the year or the ACC having 10. Oregon State gets the first national seed followed by Arkansas. 14/16 of the national seeds are either SEC or ACC teams, and I expect this to change as well before the end of the year, giving way to a Big 12 team or two and maybe another Pac-12 team.
