Midwest: Louisville is the #1 overall seed, so the selection committee puts them in the toughest region. I think St. Louis will make some noise, but I don't know if they can get past Louisville. I want to pick against Duke, but they won't face an athletic team until the 3rd round. I have Michigan State coming out of this region, just because they always play their best in the NCAAs whereas Pitino's teams have struggled as of late.
West: Kind of a weird region, with several teams having the potential to win it despite having flaws. Wisconsin could conceivably make the regional finals, which is sad. I have Witchita State in a "no brainer" over Pitt in the 1st round, but then I also have them beating an overrated Gonzaga in round 2. I think the winner of the KSU/Wisc game will face Ohio State in the regional finals, with Ohio State winning. Notre Dame is the only team in the bottom part of the bracket who could beat OSU. I have Belmont over Arizona, because Arizona's coach is an idiot.
South: Wow...was the selection committee made up of Kansas alums? They basically get a bye to the Final Four...I want to pick against Bill Selfish but I just can't. Maybe they'll lose to VCU? This region alone has four of the most overrated teams in the field: Michigan, Georgetown, Florida, and UCLA. Its nice that UNC faces Villanova in round 1, because one of them has to lose. I have pretty much chalk, with VCU beating UM.
East: Another terrible region. Indiana and Syracuse as a 1/4 matchup? I have Miami winning the region, with numerous upsets...Indiana losing to NC State, Syracuse losing to UNLV, Illinois losing to Colorado. I want to pick Davidson, but I can't.
