Bracketology: It's A 6, In Albany

A consensus among bracketologists seems to have formed around Iowa heading into the closing weeks of the season.

The Hawkeyes are a No. 6 seed among seven bracketologists' picks on Monday.

Some other notables from the brackets:

• Albany seems to be the likely destination if the Hawkeyes are a 6 seed, with Villanova on the other side.

• Three brackets had the Hawkeyes playing Northern Iowa. The two in-state teams no longer play since the end of the HyVee (formerly Big Four) Classic in Des Moines.

• Highest seed was a 5, lowest seed was a 7.

A look at some of the predictions:
