Assumptions in this bracket:
1) Kansas beats Texas in the Big 12 championship game
2) Arkansas beats Georgia in the SEC championship game
3) Wisconsin beats Illinois in the Big 10 championship game

If 2 or 3 doesn’t happen, throw this bracket out the window. If No. 1 doesn’t happen, simply switch Texas and Kansas. That flexibility is why I have assigned Memphis as the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Regional, rather than in the South as most people believe. I think the winner of the Big 12 will be the No. 1 in Houston. If it’s Kansas, you’ve got a Big 12 team playing as the No. 1 in Big 12 country. If it’s Texas, you’ve got the Longhorns playing in Houston.
