First of all, my Ducks got screwed. 12 seed after winning the Pac 12 tourney and being 2nd in the regular season. UCLA and Arizona, who the Ducks have 3 wins against combined are both 6 seeds. UNLV who the Ducks beat in Las Vegas are a 5. And the one that really gets my steamed, Colorado who the Ducks finished ahead of in both the regular season and tournament are a 10. Doesnt make much sense.

But now that I got my bitching out of the way, Heres my final 4:

Michigan State
Ohio State
Miami
Kansas.

With Miami winning the whole thing.

Probably. As much confidence as I have in Ducks football, its about the opposite for Ducks basketball. They should still be higher then a 12 seed though, based off the other teams in their conference.

Probably. I pretty much always have beef with how the seeding works. But yeah, Ducks should be at least an 8, if not a bit higher.

Agree with both of you. UO got a shitty deal from the commitee.

UO got a bad seed, but I see them having a nice road to the sweet 16. UO is 5-0 vs rpi top 25 while Ok st is 2-4. A 12 winning vs a 5 isn't much of an upset since generally every year 2 of the 12 win the first game.

Louisville
Indiana
Oklahoma
Kansas state

I have a feeling that Oklahoma wins it all don't ask me why just got a feeling.

But I agree that Oregon got robbed they should have been a 5 or 6 seed. And Gonzaga loses in the sweet 16

While I think a 12 seed was rather low for Oregon, I didn't see them getting much higher than a 9 seed because they didn't play a very good out of conference slate and the NCAA committee takes that rather seriously.

On topic, my initial thoughts are: Ohio State, Indiana, Louisville, Florida. I haven't gotten a chance to run the numbers yet, so I'm sure that'll change once I see who's looking good.

Initial predictions:
Louisville
Gonzaga
Georgetown
Indiana
Then have Louisville over Indiana 70-66 in the final.
(Haven't looked over to many advanced stats metrics yet, which will probably change a few of my picks. However feeling confident about that final 4.)
If anyone fills out a perfect bracket this year, they should be knighted.

MSU
Gonzaga

Oregon and UCLA out in their first game but I have Colorado advancing to elite eight as I see Miami as very susceptible to an upset.

The 15 that wins? I got Florida Gulf Coast. IIRC, they beat the Canes earlier this year.

Ducks seeding kind of pissed me off, and thats really hard to do considering I hate the Ducks. I think they win 2 games.

No Chance. Ok State are legitimately good.

This is a big day for FGCU, only in their second year of eligibility and they're in the tournament(they lost in the A-Sun final last year). Cause I live near the campus I've seen some pretty excited people for this. They might shock people and upset Georgetown, but not sure about them advancing past that.

Even as a Ducks fan, I have to agree with the Okie here. 12 seeds that didn't go to the previous year's dance are only 17-58 in these games whereas teams with OK States stats are 47-16.

Anyone create a group on ESPN? My old buds/company has gone defunct and looking for some experts to compare my results with.

I can give you the final 1

Gonzaga

I do live a stone throw away, but thats no homer speak. They simply are the best team this year.
