Bracketology 2012: South Florida Drops, Projected As No. 13 Seed

The Major Conference Tournaments are about to get underway, starting with the Big East Tournament on Tuesday. The guys over at SB Nation released one more version of their Bracketology before the games are played this week and the field looks completely different.

South Florida is surging right now as the Big East Tournament nears, but that still wasn't good enough to get securely into the tournament. They still only have a No. 13 seed, and that is probably requisite on a few wins in the Big East Tournament. Of course, they could make a run deep into the tournament and get that seed up much higher.

Here is the complete bracket as it stands right now.
