Wow, Hubert Davis really went out on a limb...
I didn't watch all the GameDay guys' picks, but Davis had Elite 8 of:
1 vs 3
1 vs 3
1 vs 3
1 vs 2 (or maybe it was also 1 vs 3)
With all four No. 1's to Final Four.
Did not see his semifinal/champion, because I was face-palming. Borrring!
Vitale's title game prediction is pretty chalky, but at least he had some realistic regional blow-ups along the way. (Amid his orgasmic prediction of a UK-Duke Elite 8 game)
You missed Bilas.
1v2 for all regions, then all 1's for the Final Four, then Kentucky v Syracuse for the championship, with Kentucky winning it all.
The chalkiest of the chalk. Can't believe he got paid to make that "expert analysis".
There's never been all four 1 seeds in a Final Four, why do these guys keep predicting that it will happen?
Brackets are pretty top heavy this year. Outside of the #1 and #2 seeds, most of the field is pretty mediocre. I can't blame the experts one bit here.
You guys are putting the double standard on them. If Bilas picks a bunch of upsets and then they don't happen, you harp on him. If he picks with the high seeds you call him chicken **** for not truly predicting the bracket. C'mon.

Yeah, I missed Bilas. I expected a little more variance from him.Quote:

I would bet a lot of money that atleast 1 number 1 seed doesn't make it to the final four.
FIFY.Quote:

Im surprised Mizz isn't getting any respect nationally. I hate Mizzou but they are a good team this year. I think they can beat a Michigan State, because they are such good shooters. I think that we may see up to 3 Big12 teams in the elite 8, I think as a conference we are underrated.
I have Mizzou in the Final Four. Excuse me while I go throw up...Quote:
