Screw it - I went full-on Big 12 bias, plus I always try to keep it to only one #1 seed in the FF.

Tenn and Baylor Final Four
ISU, Houston, Arizona, and Tennessee. Going homer on ISU for the Championship. If they play like they did even against Baylor, they can go all the way.
Auburn is a team that no one seems to talk about. They are 4th in the NET. Everyone is is talking UCONN and Iowa State and over looking Auburn. I think they upset UCONN and make the elite 8 to face Iowa State, and the winner of that game makes the national championship game.
Yeah, probably lol. I've changed my bracket so many times already. I think the West region is the weakest of all of them, so it's up for grabs in my opinion.
UCONN (Champs)
Houston (if healthy; if not, they could get bounced in the 2nd round)
Arizona
Creighton

My problem with Auburn is they don't seem to do well against the really good teams.
One guy with ESPN picked ISU to win it all.
If Uconn didn't win last year - I'd be all over them to win this year. The whole "back to back" narrative is the only reason I'm not picking them. I think this is the year Houston gets it done, and we'll be partially responsible after setting the fire under them Saturday.
If we play like we did in Kansas City (all three games, not just Houston), it’s not out of the realm.
Final Four: Iowa State, Arizona, Tennessee, Houston
Arizona, Houston final and Houston cuts down the nets

Just gonna pull my replies from other threads over here for the heck of it.
EAST - UConn/ISU/Auburn -- ISU, what the heck
WEST - UNC
MIDWEST - Barnes+Painter+Shaka = upset bloodbath. Kansas probably. Maybe the Zags or Creighton.
SOUTH - Houston
I am leaning Houston to win it all. They had their bad night vs ISU. They have the guards. Only going to be healthier. I do worry about Tugler being gone though.
With UConn, 2 issues - a) they won last year, so that's a thing, and b) they are in a tough region.
UNC is kind of my dark horse, they could win with a couple breaks. I put $2 on them +1700 a while back.
ISU, Auburn, Marquette (if Tolek is OK) other dark horses.
Would love to see Houston, ISU, KU, and Baylor as the F4. That would be something.
Actually, swap TCU for KU, even better.

Just finished my bracket this morning. Weighted my decisions by Kenpom, NET quadrant records, injury status’s, Homer bias, and gut feelings.
Ended with a final 4 of Iowa State (who plays auburn instead of UConn), Arizona, Creighton
