Carolina and Kentucky should be the two favorites to win it all. However, without Henson at 100% Carolina is going to have trouble winning the whole thing. Even still I've got them winning in one pool and Kentucky in the other. Ohio St is a great #3 beyond those three it's very tough to see KU win it all, but they are my #4 choice as NC. Final Four looks like Ohio St, Kentucky, UNC and Michigan St. Missouri has a strong starting five, but are nt deep enough to win bracket over MSU.

FSU is everyone's favorite to make FF, but but Ohio St is a better team with better cach. Missouri is another one that keeps showing up in FF brackets. They'll have trouble with MSU as the Big 10 is a better confence vs a mediocre Big 12. KU and Missouri are the best two with KSU and Baylor not far behind. Outside of only four only KU is a FF team.

Just my 25 years of watching the tourney. ... more » « less

Entertaining as always. I'm in 15... and I've used variations of different brackets. Many of them inspired by Pete and a few twists on my own. My mission this year was variety and making sure I didn't pick the same upsets too often.

The one constant I have is that I think I have UK in the Final Four in 13 of the 15... Baylor in the other 2.

I'm 10- 5 on Kansas over UNC.

I look to have 8 OSU, 4 Wisc, 3 Vandy. (I'm anti Syracuse... I've got them losing in the RD- 32 and RD- 16)

Out west is where i think it all blows up... Of the 15, I've got Michigan State in 2, Missouri in 6, Marquette in 3, Louisville in 2, Florida in 2.

I figure I have to have something decent somewhere?!? :) good luck to everybody with theirs!

As far as winning... I'm split 50/ 30/ 20 UK/ Kansas/ OSU ... I want to root UNC, but those FSU losses make me wonder.

I like it . . . I think Purdue might be a year too late (which is too bad, they have had terrible luck recently). With that said, I do have them winning round 1. I actually like Marquette to get to the elite 8, but other than that, I pretty much agree with you on all of this.

I am in 3 pools this year, however, I decided to go all in and use the same bracket in all 3 (Usually I would hand in a different bracket for each pool). ... more » « less

I am NOT afraid to admit that I am in 4 pools! Just wanted to get a little dialog going on what everybody feels?

I am in Big 10 country and I am jumping on Michigan State and Izzo, Ohio State and Sullinger, and my sleepers = Purdue with ONLY 6 Disqualifiers, Kansas State taking down a hobbled Syracuse, and Florida.

Staying off of VCU, Marquette, Syracuse, and Missou.....any thoughts?
