NOTE: If Memphis comes back to win the AAC Title, they would move in front of Colorado State on the S-curve list. However, based on geography, the actual bracket itself would not be altered, so for final BracketMatrix submission purposes, the seeds are official. No changes would occur based on any other Big Ten/AAC Title game outcomes other than which of Iowa/Purdue gets the bold font.
