    How does your bracket look? Who are your "sleepah" picks?

    Its funny that if you listen to all the bracket analysis, you will come away thinking that every team will win. Temple is better than their 5-seed, Cornell is better than their 12-seed, both have the ability to surprise people and go deep in the tournament...Temple plays Cornell in the 1st round.

    The South and the West regions are horrible. So difficult to pick who is going to move on. Here are some of my picks by region.

    West

    Not sold on Syracuse, but have them in the Final Four. Seriously considering making K-State the Final Four team. Have Murray St over Vandy and Minnesota over Xavier in the 1st round.

    South

    Ick! I said I would pick against Villanova, but they have an easy path to the Final Four. I have Siena winning games over Purdue and TAMU, and I have Notre Dame winning two games over ODU and Baylor. St. Mary's over Richmond in 1st round. Villanova over Duke in the Elite 8.

    East

    West Virginia over Kentucky in the Elite 8. Temple wins two games. Mizzou over Clemson.

    Midwest


    Kansas over G-Town in Elite 8 game. SDSU beats Tennessee in 1st round, and UNI over UNLV.

    Final Four

    Kansas over Syracuse. WVU over Nova. Kansas over WVU to win title.

        Cuse, Kansas, Kentucky, Baylor as my Final Four right now.

        That could change by tomorrow though.

          I thought Duke and Nova were in the South? and Cuse got put out West?

          Anyways

          Midwest

          I have Kansas beating G'Town in the Regional Finals. I guess my only suprise is MSU winning two games before losing to Kansas.

          East

          Kentucky beating WVU in the Finals... this bracket has a few more shocks in it with the HORRIBLY seeded Temple winning two games and Marquette also winning two games.

          West

          I have 'Cuse winning this but predicted Butler to make a little run. I think if they get past FSU and all that size then facing Vandy should be a little easier on them. I also picked BYU to beat Kansas St in a semi-upset. Pitt wins three games despite my dislike for how they play

          South

          This one pains me the most. I went through it pretty quickly and ended up with Nova in the F4 which made me sick but I can't find another team that i'm sold on in this region. TAMU is a one man freak show, Duke struggled with Nova in the past and Richmond match up poorly with Nova. Baylor is the only team I see upsetting this prediction

            My final four is Kansas, Syracuse, Kentucky, and Baylor. I have Texas A&M knocking off Duke in the Sweet 16. Also have BYU making it to the elite eight after knocking off Kansas State. Kansas over Kentucky for the title.

                I'm in a March Madness pool with friends so I have 2 brackets. I'll just break down my main bracket.

                Midwest

                I have Kansas knocking off Georgetown in the regional final. I just think they're the most complete team in the tournament. The only upset I have in this region is Oklahoma St. knocking off Ohio St. in the 2nd round.

                East

                Kentucky over West Virginia. I was torn between these two, but decided to go with the Kentucky. I like Missouri over Clemson in the 1st round and Cornell beating Temple.

                West

                I have Syracuse winning this region. I have UTEP in the sweet 16 knocking off Butler and Vandy.

                South

                I have Nova winning here. As much as I didn't like the way they played to end the season, it was tough trying to find a team to knock them off before the Elite 8. I think getting out of that tough stretch playing all those Big East teams will help them, too. I could see Baylor knocking them out because they have big men down low that will give Nova fits. If Nova can get past them I don't see why they can't beat Duke and get back to the final four.

                Some upsets I have here is 12 seed Utah St. playing 13 seed Siena in the 2nd round with Utah St. winning. I also have St. Mary's knocking off Richmond in round 1.

                Final Four

                I have Kansas over Syracuse and Kentucky over Nova. Kansas beats Kentucky in the final.

                In my 2nd bracket my final four is Kansas, West Virginia, Kansas St. and Baylor. I have Kansas beating West Virginia in the final.

                  Nice catch. You can see why I slid to the #8 spot in Palooza's rankings.

                    Now you can see why I leaped to #13

                        Too much ACC/P10 love Nikpin. Those were terrible conferences, so I'm not putting much faith into their representatives.

I just have a feeling they can win against Syracuse and then easily beating Butler and BYU...Actually, in that region I have 5-6-7-8 seeds as the last teams remaining, with Gonzaga/BYU in the Elite Eight. I keep trying to talk myself out of it but can't seem to do it. I do have Kentucky over Kansas in the final, so I'm not entirely retarded.
                          Gonzaga's horrible. There's no shot they get to the Final Four.

                            I don't think thats necessary.

                              That's why I have one bracket that is all gut picks.

                              One that is all second guessing. One that is favorites. One that is sleepers.

                              One that is the combination of the 4.
