NarbTom Bracketology 2.0

In this week's bracketology, Rev and I have ceased the semi-troll job and moved UAB out of a matchup with Iowa State. As terribl(y awesome?) as a rematch would have been, the college basketball landscape has undergone a pretty epic transformation since Bracketology 1.0, hence changes galore in version 2.0.

In addition to not-UAB, you'll find other gems like Texas Tech as a SINGLE DIGIT NCAA TOURNAMENT SEED (WHAT UNIVERSE IS THIS?), a possible VCU-Virginia second round matchup in Raleigh, our Riot Bros (fuck you guys just for like nine more hours) sitting on the 2-line, Hawaii getting as much home cooking as geographically possible as a 13-seed, a probable national title rematch in the second round, and much more.

Let's go to the bracket, and again, remember that this is a necessary exercise. Please take this information as gospel, because what could possibly change between now and Mar— [trampled by the Colorado buffalo]
