God's Bracket

After the first weekend, all four number one seeds remain in the men's dance; the Big East has four teams alive in the tourney, the Missouri Valley has two, and the Big Ten has none. The defending champs are out, while two double-digit seeds have advanced to the round of sixteen. But let's get down to what really matters: the religious affiliation of the schools in the tournament. While the Jesuits are running away with the men's bracket, the women's field is more theologically diverse and should provide some interesting match-ups as the tourney progresses. With two rounds complete in the men's dance and one in the women's, the God's Bracket standings are as follows:
