Another day has passed (sans Wyoming vs UNLV in the time of writing this), and more things have changed in the bracket. To start off at the top, the first change involves Iowa State dropping from a 4 to a 5 seed in part to losing at home to Baylor. Baylor moved up a spot but remains on the 8 seed line. Maryland with a road win against Iowa swapped spots on the 6 seed line with Iowa. Ole Miss dropped to a 9 seed with a 15 point loss to South Carolina, allowing Auburn to move back up to a Top 8 seed. Some of the first and next four out teams dropped farther down the bubble (Davidson, Nebraska, Toledo) with one (Indiana) dropping out entirely from consideration. Clemson fell a few spots in overall, but remained on the last four in line. Alabama moved out of the bracket to the last team out, allowing conference rival Florida to sneak back in to Dayton as the last team in as of now.  Canisius also takes over as the current leader of the MAAC without even playing a game today, with Qunnipac falling to Iona. There is a FIVE-way tie for 2nd place in the MAAC. Most likely any team to come out of this conference will be playing in Dayton on opening week.
