UCLA still has some work to do but holds an 18-9 record with ranked wins over Purdue and Illinois, two of the top projected teams in March Madness.
Fallers
Houston
-
Projected seed: No. 2
Houston is coming off back-to-back losses to Iowa State and Arizona and appears to have fallen behind both schools in the Big 12’s pecking order. While the Cougars are still national championship contenders, they have some work to do to get back onto the No. 1 seed line.
Kansas
-
Projected seed: No. 3
Kansas was blown out by Iowa State on Feb. 14, before defeating Oklahoma State on Feb. 18 with limited help from star guard Darryn Peterson. The Jayhawks then suffered perhaps their worst loss of the season on Feb. 21, falling to unranked Cincinnati by 16 points at home.
