Once again my bracket is not overly exciting, but I guess we'll see how it plays out (and how much I change it before Thursday).

A good point.
That entire region looks set up to say, "Here, Ohio State, it's yours. If you blow it, shame on you."
If it makes you feel better, my girlfriend has Iowa suffering
an elite 8 loss to the eventual champion - the Chicago Cubs....
and she'll beat me.
the problem with this tournament is, anyone can win. There is no clear cut "#1" team like UK last year. Anyone can win.. Hell I could see a 7 seed making it to the final 4. Who knows this year.
Filled out two brackets last night by flipping a quarter
the final 4 in the first one:
New Mexico St
Oklahoma
UNLV
Ole Miss
UNLV over New Mexico St
The second final 4:
Memphis
SD St
Ole Miss
Indiana
SD St over Ole Miss
Perfect brackets right there...

think I'm going to fill out two brackets. One that is pure first instinct, and one that injects a little reason. Which means the first instinct one will probably do way better.
I always do one instinct and one cyclones nat'l champs and picks I feel should happen.
The clones bracket does well other than our region every year and it screws me
I literally did flip a coin for every matchup in one of my brackets for fun and Villanova beats Iona in the final.
Also did a dream bracket where I just pick teams based totally of favorites and 0 big 10 teams win and Kansas loses first round. ISU wins it all vs Akron (I'm going to grad school there) in the final.

yeah I need to do one where I don't show so much bias against Michigan State. I was very angry the year they beat Kentucky in 2OT to make the Final Four. I was so close to correctly picking all four off my pretty name/complete guess method.

My coin flip final four is:
Creighton
New Mexico
VCU
UNLV
With VCU over New Mexico to win it all
Interestingly enough, no 16 over 1 seed upsets were flipped
So do I. Beat ND-OSU-Belmont-Zags, lose to Louisville. It's our time and we can beat all of those teams.
My other bracket has us losing to OSU in the 2nd game, let's hope this is too pessimistic.
I cheated a bit and just advanced the top 2 in each region to their second game.
I hate my bracket. Not near enough upsets and I don't feel very good about my final four (Michigan, Miami, Gonzaga, Duke). For my elite 8 I have 3 1 seeds, 4 two seeds, and a 4 seed. I'm going to have to look that over again and find an upset or two. Usually I figure out who I want in the final four and work backwards but I have no idea who to pick this year.
