What a mess this bracket is right now. The top seeds are a big mush, and really there are about 12 undeserving teams on the bubble, 4-6 of which will actually make the tourney.
No more overrated/underrated...we know who I think is too high or too low at this point.

Really don't know how to differentiate between Florida, Arizona, and Maryland at this point. If UF or the Terps keep winning, I guess they get it. Or if they all lose and Temple makes the A10 finals, maybe they sneak in...either way, I don't understand Lunardi's New Mexico fasination. I didn't understand it before they lost to Wyoming, and I REALLY don't understand it now. But that's all I'll say about Lunardi's latest bracket--it makes no sense whatsoever.
