2/4 Bracketology

The first week in February brings some jumps up (Uconn) and Down (Ole Miss) in our weekly bracketology, with more big changes to come, given this week's schedule. As I write this, the top dogs in the WCC, Gonzaga and St. Mary's are in overtime. The top two teams in the Missouri Valley, Drake and Illinois State meet in Normal, Illinois on Tuesday. UCLA visits suddenly struggling Washington State on Thursday, Florida and Tennessee battle on Tuesday, and of course, Duke and Carolina renew their classic rivalry.
