Congrats to Creighton and San Diego State that jump into the picture after UNLV and Arizona faltered last night. They are not completely safe in the bracket at this point, however. Right now, Minnesota and Virginia Tech are both playing the top seeds in their conference for the right to go to the dance. Win and they are in. Same applies for the Florida Gators. After the best game I've ever seen, Syracuse is a solid four seed no matter what happens and West Virginia could keep rising as they look to be a force at this point.
