Bracketology 2009

A new year, brings new bracket projection based on our Roundball Rankings.
As usual:
-Teams were placed based on the snaking method, with the top 2 in the same region as the lowest #1 seed, the highest #3 with the lowest #2, and so on.
-Teams were moved within their bands to avoid interconference matchups before the elite eight
-Teams with the conferences listed are autobid teams
-Regional sites were awarded based on the location of the top seed.
-Brackets are based on rankings as of Sunday Night, 1/4
