2017 NCAA Tournament Bracket Simulation 8.28.2017

Here is my system's bracket simulation, which has incorporated the actual results of games played through Sunday, August 27.  Following the table, I'll list additional potential candidates for seeds and at large selections.

1 = #1 seed
2 = #2 seed
3 = #3 seed
4 = #4 seed
5 = unseeded Automatic Qualifiers
6 = at large selections
7 = teams in the Top 60 but no at large selection

Within each group of teams, the group members are arranged first by the number of factors for which they meet a "yes" you get a positive seed or at large decision from the Committee and second by the number of factors for which they meet a "no" you don't get a positive seed or at large decision.
