Using the odds - Midwest

I've got another version of bracket odds assembled, and these should be the most accurate numbers you'll find anywhere. These are built using the odds from various sportsbooks to determine the strength of each team. Sportsbooks aren't in the habit of losing money, so you can generally trust that their numbers are very accurate. I used odds for the NCAA champion, odds for the champion from each region, and odds for first rounds games together to create one unified projection. A few of the opening round games don't have moneylines out yet, so those may need some tweaking laster this week.

MSU gets a bump, and WVU is downgraded as compared to the old version. My Jayhawks get a modest bump, most of it due to the downgrade of the Mountaineers.
