Bracketology Through The Looking Glass: Glassjawed's Bracket (2/9)
BoilerUp89: As usual, we are posting Sunday night's seed list on Tuesday morning so things have probably changed slightly with Monday's games.
But new this week - it's a bracket! Glassjawed submitted a bracket and although BoilerUp89 tweaked it to obey a few more bracketing principles/rules, your friendly neighborhood robot tried to keep the intent of glass's bracket. Next week should be a more faithful adaption of glass's bracket.
Address your questions related to seeds to glassjawed. Address your complaints on the bracket matchups to yours truly as I took some liberties.
