Seed List & Bracket

SEED LIST BELOW
1/21/26- UCLA gets a huge win over Purdue at home. They move up to the 10-seed line while Purdue takes a huge tumble all the way down to the 3. People will argue about BYU being above Purdue, but BYU has two "good" losses versus UConn and Texas Tech. Utah State being upset last night hurts their case for an at-large bid, but they barely hang on to it. I have Georgia at a 5 seed, which is very high compared to a lot of other bracketologists on the matrix. I think they don't get enough credit for how they are playing. Vanderbilt just hangs on to that 4 line because they beat Alabama head-to-head. Mark Pope is reviving Kentucky's season these past couple of weeks, and they have a huge one tonight against Texas. It is equally as big for Texas as they can further strengthen their case as a bubble team.
