Bracketology 1.2

Virginia's win over Duke jumps them from a 13 seed to an 11 seed, thanks in large part to a 4-2 record against the top 25. Duke moved from the overall No. 1 behind Indiana. 
As a result, St. Mary's is bumped down to a 12 seed and the last 4 in. Villanova down to a 13 seed.
BYU's loss to the Zags removes them from at-large consideration. Cougars must win the WCC auto bid to get in.
