Here's what I submitted late last night. UConn stays put. Au revoir, Butler, Michigan, Illinois, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Maryland and Notre Dame. Hello, Gonzaga, Florida, Georgia Tech, Marquette, Vanderbilt, Cincinnati and Richmond. Near miss: Portland.

I'm going heavy on Big East until the conference gives me reason to do otherwise. It's still the best.
