Notre Dame's loss on Sunday at North Carolina State kept the Fighting Irish from a perfect ACC regular season, but didn't knock them from a one-seed in the latest Bracketology on ESPN.

Charlie Creme puts together the latest mock NCAA Tournament weekly and in his latest edition, has Notre Dame remaining a No. 1 seed but switching regions.

Most recently Creme had put Notre Dame as the No. 1 seed in the Region 3 Birmingham bracket where longtime Fighting Irish rival UConn is the two-seed. That changed in Creme's latest bracket.

Notre Dame's Newest NCAA Tournament Projection

In Creme's latest Bracketology he has Notre Dame moving to the Region 4 Spokane bracket. Instead of UConn being the No. 2 seed in that region, Creme currently has that belonging to USC.

Farliegh Dickinson would be Notre Dame's first round opponent while the winner would get the winner of the No. 8 Vanderbilt vs. No. 9 Oregon contest.

Notre Dame's first of two remaining regular season games before the ACC Tournament comes Thursday night when the Fighting Irish play host to Florida State.
