Final Bracket Predictions: Sunday edition

Some upsets yesterday caused the bubble to change shape.  Wake Forest isn't a lock but should feel pretty good because there is some separation between themselves and the other bubble teams. If Mississippi State upsets Kentucky today there is likely only going to be one bubble spot up for grabs.  Keep your eyes on this one.
