Projected seeding is based on team ratings from TheRankerPit.com.
A few noteworthy differences with consensus projections from the Bracketology community (found at bracketmatrix.com)
- Duke moves up to the overall top seed
- Texas moves in with an impressive win over Alabama
- Wake Forest moved up to the First Four Out, but they can make a big jump by beating (current 5-seed) Tennessee today
- St. Bonaventure replaced Rhode Island as the projected automatic bid from the Atlantic 10
