Updated Bracketology 1.16.17

[redseat]

They were the worst 4 in this version of the bracket, which would put them at 16 on the "S" curve. At this point, you can probably make a case for Arizona being ahead of them now, but when I did this on Monday, Arizona was only 1-2 against the top 50. And maybe Maryland and Cincy? But they only have a combined 2 wins against teams in this bracket.

yes that was what I was getting at. Don't think right now they are worthy of a 4th seed and I am a Duke fan. But they probably would get that seed if it were to happen today

Generally, I consider a "bracket" game a game against two conference leaders, or a game involving a team that would be considered a Last 4 BYE team, Last 4 IN team, First 4 OUT team, Next 4 OUT team. Obviously without having done the bracketology exercise for this week, I may have missed some potential games, or included some that may miss this designation(but would generally be pretty close to it). Feel free to add to the list if you deem it necessary.
