Bracketology 1.3

Indiana remains No. 1 overall despite Duke's win over Miami.
The Blue Devils look pretty secure as a top seed with the victory.
Miami doesn't drop based on the loss to Duke, but any other loss outside of Duke again in the ACC title game, and they'll struggle to get a No. 1 seed.
Michigan will have a chance to jump into the top line by beating the Hoosiers at home this weekend.
Arizona is struggling, and it feels as if they shouldn't be on the No. 3 line, but I haven't found the team that knocks them down to the No. 4 line just yet. If Kansas State pulls off a road win against Oklahoma State this weekend then the KSU would likely take Zona's place as a No. 3 seed.
VCU's demolition of Butler jumps the Rams over the Bulldogs.
Boise State's win over Colorado State jumps them into the bracket after no other bubble teams did anything to improve their resumes.
Stephen F. Austin and Princeton join the bracket after taking the regular season leads in their conferences.
