Big Dance Breakdown IV

Another wacky week in college basketball gives us another wacky attempt to concoct some sort of bracket. A lot of Mid-Majors get the nod over the big six this week; Air Force, Utah State, Hofstra, and Houston all somehow made it into the bracket. However, with Southern Illinois' recent slump upstart Bradley takes over as the fifth team from the MVC. I wouldn't think that any more than 5 can make it from that conference but I have been wrong before. Also, the Big 12 only gets three bids this week. Colorado needs to start winning more and Texas A&M pretty much has to win out in order for them to be playing in the March bracket that counts. Without strong conference tourney showings they both will be playing in the NIT. Here's the latest:
