Friday Bracketology

Illinois falls to 2-6 in the Big Ten and cannot stay in the bracket with that conference record.  BYU barely beats Pepperdine but their lack of quality wins cause them to fall out as well.  Taking their places are Arizona State who got an average road win and St. Louis who took down Butler.
