I just did a bracket and ended up with a FF of all two seeds (Ohio St, WVU, Kansas St. and Villanova) with West Virginia beating OSU in the title game.

*Insert Bob Huggins coached team graduation rate joke here*

Edit: Not sure if this will work, but (maybe) view my bracket HERE

Yeah my bracket is weighted with all the heavies but man, it's tough not to with it so wide open this year.

I just felt that KU is the deepest with talent but UK has those two sensational NBA ready players.

I'll admit to not knowing a whole lot about Syracuse except they play a pretty frustrating Defense.


EDIT:

Heard an interesting fact that I NEVER would've guessed. The SEC is 2nd only to the ACC (with 1 less) in Final Four appearances in the last 15 years. :shock:

Yeah, I haven't watched as much NCAA this year as in some previous years so my picks are probably less-than-educated guesses--I'm basically the office mattress who scribbles out a bracket five minutes before go time.

Yeah, with that method I somehow ended up with Texas in the FF.

What made it tough this year was all the injuries, and teams that had horrible losing streaks coming in. Its tough to pick a team that's lost the last 7 of 10.

Texas being one of those limping teams.

I probably over-analyzed it a bit. Kansas SHOULD win it on paper but I was reading how being the highest seed (top #1 seed) in the tourney is almost a curse. The odds are against them according to the stats over the years. Then again, UNC was the top seed last year and won it all.

I just want KU to win so they have 2 and Roy has 2. That piece of shit Huckleberry Hound look a like.

Wow, the CBS College Sports channel has a panel thing going that looks like four trannies in HD thanks to the horrendous makeup and lighting.

Florida vs BYU is pretty boring. I should be using my digital cable to see what else is on in the upper tier CBS Sport channels, but I am too lazy.

Kansas over WVU

The East is a monster, whoever makes it out of there will be in the Championship.

I really wish Ohio State or Georgetown or Kansas State would have been in the South, so I could take one of them over Duke. They somehow got the easiest route by far.

GO ROBERT MORRIS!!!

Yep. I really thought Robert Morris was going to pull off the win. Maybe it'll be a wake up call for Nova.

This honky guard for St. Mary's looks like a carney with his scraggly beard and the black/white mouthpiece that makes him look like he has Summerteeth
