Merry Bracket Christmas: Revised

Slight revisions for the final edition of this year's prognosticated bracket. First, Mississippi St did end up winning the SEC Tournament, meaning the cowbell-ringing Bulldogs will be in the Big Dance. That means that someone had to go from the Field of 65, and I finally settled on excommunicating St. Mary's. Which really sucks, by the way. San Diego St. stays in, joining Minnesota, Maryland, and Wisconsin as my last four in. St. Mary's, Arizona, Creighton, and Penn St are the final four out.

I also exchanged Wisconin and Michigan within the bracket. While Michigan might not have been the ideal team to bump up so far on the S-curve, it was easier given their conference affiliation. With only half an hour before the selection show, moving one team could have forced a number of switches because of the high number of Big Ten teams between seeds eight and eleven. I left Ohio St where they were, as I had already bumped them this week from a ten-seed to an eight-seed given their run to the Big Ten tournament finals and win over Michigan St.

We'll see how this turns out. I reckon I'll have a few major mistakes, but oh well. It is fun either way. Holla holla.
