It's been a over a month since our Preseason Field of 65, and as could be expected, there are a ton of changes to our latest bracket. Putting together the field before most teams have started conference play is still tough, but the following bracket is how we see things right now.You'll notice that some teams have essentially "earned" their ranking and are seeded where they are because of one or more big non-conference wins (see: Syracuse, Kansas State, Temple). Others are hanging on to a decent seed line or remain in the field because, even though their resume is weak right now (see: Connecticut, Tennessee, California), we project that once conference play starts, they will regroup and do enough damage to get in.

Does UF fall out of your next bracket with consecutive losses to Richmond and South Alabama?
William & Mary as a 10 seed has to be about 98.9% projection, 0.1% prediction and 1% insanity.
Tony Shaver is a very good coach and they have some decent players, but they'll be lucky to finish top 4 in the CAA.
Though admittedly Diablo III Gold these people timetabled a challenging timetable, simply how much chance is definitely Servant by sacrificing their particular opportunity at an at-large put money? To put it differently, the amount safety netBillig Diablo 3 Gold perform the Bulldogs have?
