Bracket Watch '11 - What you won't be seeing this year

Since I've decided to add a new project to my schedule, I will not be updating the Conference Tournament Central Blog this year. In fact, I might just delete it altogether, seeing that everyone else has Championship Week coverage. So anyway on with the brackets(done as if the season ended last night).
