Final 4 Predictions

I know there was a thread started already but I thought I'd take it a step further so we can get a better break down involving the opinions of our fellow fanatics. Because of space, I'm only including the top four seeds from each region while leaving an option for others. Let's hear it!

I believe we repeat last year and all 4 number one seeds make it. Odds aren't good, but I think there's a good chance. I would give K-State the nod over Syracuse if I had to leave out a #1.

One thing about it, for being considered the top #1 seed, KU got screwed with a really tough region. The Midwest Region is stacked.

I do think that KU is the best though, and they'll win it all.

Before the bracket was announced I was planning on a Kansas over Ohio State national championship, now they will possibly meet in the elite 8. Also, really didn't want to take Syracuse to the final four but there region is BY FAR the weakest.

Looks like almost everyone is in agreement with KU. Arguably they will have the toughest road though...

That was 2 years ago wasn't it? I thought Michigan State was like a 5 seed last year?

All right.... a couple questions for you all. Currently I have a few holes in my bracket and am looking for some input... who would you take in the following games?

5 Temple vs 12 Cornell
Everyone loves Cornell (ie Jay Bilas) after they almost beat KU in Phog, but Temple is equally tough.

4 Purdue vs 13 Siena
Every one is big on picking against Purdue since they got smoked in the B10 tourny, but Siena isn't very good and purdue still has E'Twaun Moore and company.

3 Baylor vs 2 Villanova
1 Duke vs Baylor/Villanova to get to the final four
In what is arguably the weakest region Duke seemingly has it made. Villanova and Scottie Reynolds have been there before, last year. And Baylor is also becoming a trendy pick to make it to the final four.

1 Kentucky vs 2 W. Virginia
Kentucky basically sneaks by in every game they play, which means I'll sit in front of the tv ****ting my pants every game if I pick them that far. And West Virginia is tough, as they showed in the Big East tourny, but can they keep it going?
