Last Four In: McNeese State, UTSA, California, UC Santa Barbara
First Four Out: Cal Poly, Virginia, Michigan, UCF
Quite a few teams are jumping around in the bracket this week. I except things to settle down by our next bracketology. Since the RPI is beginning to straighten out, it makes it a little easier to determine who is in and who is out. East Carolina, an annual tournament team, is in the bracket as a 4-seed and projected champion from the American. There are a couple of teams on the 2-seed line who could make the jump to a 1-seed in the coming weeks such as Wake Forest, West Virginia, Kansas, UC Irvine, Arizona, Coastal Carolina, TCU, and Southern Miss.
