I think I did this last year, and I would like to never do it again but here we are. These games all vary in importance but every team you're cheering against are projected 10 seeds or lower by T3 Bracketology. He's one of the most accurate bracketologists on the internet, and I highly recommend his work. I should also clarify, if Ohio State wins both games this week, I'd expect them in the field regardless.
