"&lt;p&gt;2011 NCAA Tournament Projection&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;In this bracket, the East matches up with the West, the Southeast with the Southwest in the national semifinals.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;This week's notable moves:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;#149; I did an entire seed scrub of the S-curve and a few teams made sizable moves ...&amp;#149; ACC regular season champ North Carolina went from a No. 4 seed to a 2.&amp;#149; SEC champ Florida jumps from a No. 5 to a 3.&amp;#149; Surging Cincinnati went from a 10 to a 6.&amp;#149; Notre Dame is a new No. 1 seed.&amp;#149; There was no simple way to avoid the pair of possible Big East Sweet 16 games in the West region.With the addition of three at-large spots (increasing the field to 68 teams), there are now four play-in games, dubbed the \"First Four.\" Two games will match the tournament's lowest seeds, Nos. 65 through 68, with the winners claiming a No. 16 seed. The other two games will feature the last four teams of the 37 at-large qualifiers, with the winners likely receiving No. 11 or 12 seeds.The top-four seeds in each region, starting with the No. 1 seeds, receive geographic preference when possible. An imbalance in high seeds between regions (e.g. if more than two top-four seeds are closest to the same subregional location) may force a protected seed into a secondary location. League winners (automatic qualifiers) are listed with their conference for clarity. Projected auto-bid winners in traditional one-bid leagues are determined by the best RPI from the team(s) with the fewest league losses. Teams can be moved a seed line up or down to conform to bracketing rules.&lt;b&gt;* Team has officially won its league's automatic bid.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;EAST - Newark, N.J.&amp;nbsp;Cleveland&amp;nbsp;1Ohio State (Big Ten)16Boston U.
