Bracket Predictions

I've decided to switch up the at-large and seeding formulas a bit. I had been using an equation that includes conference affiliation and representation on the selection committee. However, just today, I switched to one of the models which does not take these into account. This was mainly because of the problem with the MWC teams seeds (BYU, SDSU, etc). Because the MWC has never been this good, it may not make sense to assume that the same "bias" would exist against them this season. Anyway, BYU immediately jumped to a 2 seed and SDSU to a 5 seed (the highest 5 seed).
