2/17 bracket and thoughts

1) The top line:  Syr/Fla/Ari/WSU.  I changed order about 50 times on that one.  I'm flexible to changing this in the future.
2) A-10 with 6 teams, no one else with more?  Sure, why not.  That probably won't last.
3) The mock selection committee decided Raleigh > Buffalo for Villanova.  I'm not sure about that, but I'll play along.
4) BYU in the first four again.  I hate this.  Every bracketologist hates this.  Other than that though, I managed to avoid most conflicts.
