2019 Bracketology

It's March...y'all know it's time for Bracketology.  Of course, it's worth noting that the NCAA retired the RPI over the offseason (RIP RPI) and introduced a new system called the NET, which includes computer metrics and margin of victory, capped at 10 points.  The formula isn't public, so we can only get the rankings from the NCAA itself.
