Just to see where we are tracking after yesterday.  Obviously this will not capture the UCLA game.

There are 30 new brackets posted today on the Matrix:  I am listing teams who are in on at least two, or out of at least two, or have an average seed of 9 or worse.
[B]
Out of 30[/B]
NC St 29
Providence 29
Missouri 28
USC 27
St Bonaventure 27
Texas 27
Kansas St 26
St. Mary's 25
Louisville 22
UCLA 17
----------------
Baylor 13
Syracuse 9
[B]Mississippi St 6[/B]
Boise St 4
Washington 3
LSU 2
Temple 2

So with UCLA losing today, I suspect we move up to the last team out.   Which is not a bad position.  If we go 1-1 in the next 2 games, we should not move much from that position.  If we go 2-0, the we are up with those teams that are in the high 20's.

I think we can start saying every game is crucial, buy we are not eliminated by any loss... yet.

I also bolded Mississippi St as they seem to have had the most recent upwards traction.  I think the SEC is good, but it has many of the same elements as the Pac 12 in 2016.   Many decent teams, not many bad, that just keep beating up on each other and accumulating top wins.
