Today’s full bracket post

Notes:

• Auto bid holders in this section are noted by the conference names in parentheses.
• Arrows indicate movement up or down the seed list (down to the spot on the seed list). This is relative to Monday’s list. Changes noted on the full bracket are relative to last last Tuesday’s full projection.
• New entrants are marked with an asterisk.
• For at-large candidates only, the numbers in parentheses after the team’s name are as follows: record vs. D1 opposition/record in Group 1 and Group 2 games/record in Group 1 games only. Overall records and NET data reflect games played through Monday, March 4. I pulled the quality win info from WarrenNolan.com’s selection sheets.
