March 11, 200719 yr Couldn't be happier with GT's situation. They match-up better vs defensive squads, and UNLV and Wisconsin are known better for their defense than offense.
March 11, 200719 yr ND gets boned, really not surprised though since the committee has never showed ND any love. Go play in Spokane against a dangerous mid-major. Then if you survive, play Oregon in a legit road game. The only thing ND can do now is prove the committee wrong and use this as motivation. Let's Go Irish!

Let's Go Irish! The entire Big East was given no love, but the Big 10 did get some love. I don't understand it. The entire crowd will be rooting for Winthrop.

The entire crowd will be rooting for Winthrop. Seriously, the Big East got completely shafted. And ND will have negative fans in Spokane. Only silver lining I see is that if they somehow survive the Pacific Northwest gauntlet, they get Wisconsin who looks very beatable.
March 11, 200719 yr I'm liking TAMUCC as my big time upset special. Still not going to pick it in my bracket though.
March 12, 200719 yr I don't see what is so bad about Florida being the overall #1. They are defending national champs and played like it all year, sans one small stretch and they completely took care of business in the conference tourney. I don't think UNC or KU should be ahead of them and I think you could make a case for OSU but I think Florida has the better resume.
March 12, 200719 yr other than Kansas, I dont see anyone else who should be ranked higher than Florida.
March 12, 200719 yr I have Florida and Wisconsin Upsets: 'Dame to the Sweet 16. Old Dominon to the Sweet 16.
March 12, 200719 yr Wisky and Florida with much harder roads than everybody thinks. Tech could easily beat Wisky (although that's a tough task in Chicago), Oregon could beat Wisky in the Sweet 16, and Florida might have to deal with Arizona and Maryland back to back. This was the one bracket that I spent more than a few minutes on, and I have a feeling it's the one I'll suck most at with predictions.

March 12, 200719 yr QUOTE(Jimbo @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 08:55 PM) KU beat Florida Maybe I'm mistaken, but wasn't Florida going through the flu/injuries when the two teams played (not to lessen it, just to say that I don't think the two teams have played each other at 100% yet).

No. Their FSU loss is when Brewer was out and Noah was insanely sick.
March 12, 200719 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 11:13 PM) No. Their FSU loss is when Brewer was out and Noah was insanely sick. You are correct sir. Brewer had mono and Noah was coughing up a lung. Despite my hat I have Florida beating Wisconsin in this bracket. Although, I am tempted by a UNLV upset of Wisc.
March 12, 200719 yr I had UNLV upsetting Wisconsin then I decided against UNLV and went with GT all the way to the Sweet 16. God I dont know what to do. I suppose I'll just listen to Paul Hewitt and hope his freshman are playing as well as he says they are.
March 15, 200719 yr Maryland has a 1 point lead at the half in my 13 over 4 upset pick game. Come on red shirts!

March 15, 200719 yr And I'm pretty sure that skyline in the background of the Honda Ridgeline commercial was Chicago. That's like 3 turnovers in a row for Maryland. They just did not come out focused this half.
