I'm no expert, just havin' fun. I have a boring bracket up until the Sweet Sixteen: the 1-4 seeds in every region, except #5 Tennessee. Then the whole bracket goes loopy, with Ohio State my only #1 seed going to the Final Four. And the strange thing is, I think Ohio State may be the weakest of the #1 seeds. Their bracket, however, does them big favors. Only the A&M/Memphis winner should be tough for them.
I have two #12's beating #5's this year: Old Dominion and Illinois - the latter sort of a non-rational guess. My other early upsets are VCU over Duke, Winthrop over Notre Dame,George Washington over Vanderbilt.
Final Four: Oregon (winces), UCLA, Georgetown, Ohio State. Texas is my emotional favorite.
Gee, why would you tend to favor a #12 over a #5?
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that Kansas will bow to UCLA, as you predict.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending you my bracket right now.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who else pays attention to the random letters that you have to type in order to send a post, but I'm always hoping to get an actual word, whenever I do, preferably something unusual. For this post, the word is "bughaw."
