Sorry I didn't post on here in time, SC; I'd've done one but it doesn't seem like there's much interest from others on here :-o I guess only atheists that like Pennsylvania football teams are into sports?!
This is as top-heavy of a bracket as I can remember. In my main bracket, my Elite 8 is all four 1s, three 2s, and a 3 (Notre Dame). I have Kentucky over Arizona and Villanova over Gonzaga in the Final Four, with Kentucky pulling off 40-0.
I do a lot of brackets and help a lot of people with theirs (I've probably made, or at least had a hand in, 15 or so in different pools), so I try to hedge my bets a little and mix the picks up a little when I think things could go differently. For instance, I have Wisconsin over Arizona in the E8 in some of my brackets, as well as Duke, Virginia, and even Oklahoma occasionally reaching the E8.
Some random thoughts:
- It's a shame that Wisconsin and Arizona are in the West, because if one of them was on the East/South side they'd make the final.
- If a 4 makes the Final Four, it'll be UNC (even though they're in the toughest quarter), because I just don't think any of the other 4s are as good as any of the 5s. If a 5 makes the Final Four, it'll be Northern Iowa. If a 6 makes the Final Four, it'll be SMU. And if a higher seed makes the Final Four, it'd have to be Michigan State, I think.
- I think there's a really good shot (I mean, like, 15%, but, comparatively) that we get Buffalo v. Valpo in the L32. Maryland's a weak 4 and WVU's a weak 5. In fact, after the top 7 teams (In order, I think: Kentucky, Arizona, Wisconsin, Villanova, Gonzaga, Virginia, Duke), the whole group seems weak by comparison.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
