    This bracket is completely muddled. Nobody seems like a sure thing to win any games. Everytime I go through the bracket I come out with completely different results.

    My official bracket strategy is to pick as quickly as possible without giving myself time to have second thoughts.

    Clearly I will win.

    I filled mine out almost exactly opposite from that. I think I have Ohio St, Duke, and Pitt and 3/4ths of my final four...

    Utah St being the longest lasting underdog.

    Right now my Final Four is Texas, Pitt, Louisville, and UNC

    I'm pretty sure I'm going to change it though.

    Louisville is one that gave me trouble. I had them eliminated anywhere from round 1 to the final 4.

    You said you have Kansas beating Duke then said it should be Kansas beating Kansas State.

    It sounded like you were talking about the national championship game. Kansas and Kansas State could only meet in the Final Four hence my confusion.

    Choose your 12 seed upset carefully (read: Utah St.) and NEVER overlook Michigan St.; they rock this NCAA tournament every year regardless of how they perform in the regular season. Those two pointers have served me well in making my brackets.

    Best of luck to everybody!

    Well I just put mine in. I always feel like I never put as many upsets as other people and then I hear their reasoning and it unnerves me a bit.

    Oh well, I've won a couple pools with family and at work so maybe it'll work out again.

    They could win definitely win the region (Florida is the weakest 2, BYU has been shaky since they dismissed their big man, and St. Johns has already beaten Pitt), but I'd just like to see them go deep.

    I somehow got UCLA into the Final 4, on the basis that

    1) Michigan State is pretty bad this year
    2) Florida is a weak team that got seeded pretty high
    3) UCLA beat St. Johns and BYU already this year (and that was when BYU had Davies)
    4) Flipped a coin between KState and UCLA.

    I also got SDSU and Notre Dame into the Final Four, and yet I have Ohio State winning it all....
