Blogging the bracket, part II

With the conference tournaments now in full swing, the changes are occuring extremely rapidly, oftentimes by the hour. Nova's loss to USF drops them a few seeds, while I switched ND and Duke due to the fact that Duke almost always gets to play in the State of North Carolina. I also changed a few of the confernece tournaments champinos, which has created some shuffling in the 13-16 range. VCU is out of this bracket after their loss to ODU last night, who moves up 1 seed line. The Butler/UW-Milwaukee game tonight will likely change the bracket as well. I'll try to put an S-curve up by the end of tomorrow.
Current bubble softness, with 1 being very hard and 100 being very soft: 90.
In a normal year, teams with a profile as crappy as say, Alabama's would never dream of making it. But this year is different, and they have a real shot.
