Random Nerd Bracketology Update -- March 8, 2012

Slight change today, as I've put South Florida in over Iona.

As for Colorado State, one of the criteria I use is this: If this team were an autobid, where would I seed them? If I were giving Colorado State an autobid, based on what I've seen so far they'd be either the last 13 or the first 14, roughly comparable with Davidson or South Dakota State.

I know, I know. You're not supposed to worry about seeding until everybody has been selected. But still. If this is the one part of the selection process I get wrong, I can live with that. But I suspect that I'm less enamored of the RPI than some of the other folks doing brackets, and I think my approach mimics what the committee has been saying all year.
