I would have taken my Terps over any team not Kansas, Georgetown, or Florida. So of course we get the Gators in the sweet 16 and hated UVA gets a bracket full of overrated teams (themselves included).
ACC is always over-rated, I'm sorry that you have DUKE and UNC in your conference, I really am, but that doesn't mean your good.
Since 1985 (when the bracket was expanded to 64 teams) the ACC has had 21 Final Four teams thats 6 more than the next best conference (Big Ten).
And yeah most of those are UNC/Duke but even in the last few years, since 2001 the ACC has had the most final four teams with 6, and only 3 of those 6 were Duke/UNC.
Don't forget, it wasnt all that long ago that a pre-Roy UNC team was floundering while Duke and Maryland were still making final fours and winning titles. Now UNC is a power again, but Duke certainly isnt the team it used to be, this is actually the worst Duke team I have seen in a long time. So dont bring that "tobacco road is the acc" crap around here. I watch alot of hoops, and the acc is usually one of the best conferences year in and year out. They were down last year, but not this year.
Now with all that said, I dont think they will fare too well in the tournament this year just because of the draws acc teams got. The ACC team with the easiest road to a deep run is the team least likely to be able to make such a run since UVA relies entirely on Reynolds and Singletary, they have no one else on that team, and if one of them goes cold they are fucked. Maryland drew Florida, VaTech is in a loaded bracket, BC gets Gtown, UNC gets team Durant, and GaTech gets an underrated UNLV team.
If after the first weekend, the ACC has more teams still in than the Big 12, I'll change my title to whatever you want for a week. Are you man enough to take the same bet?
I would take that bet against any other conference.. but the Big 12 is without question the best conference this year. You can look at my brackets tomorow, I have a Big 12 champ and two Big 12 teams in the Final Four (as opposed to zero ACC teams).

Im putting all my monies on Pac 10 teams, theyve all been really good this year and many of them have underdog fierceness to them
Since people are picking conferences, I am picking the Big East, mofos. I went to Villanova, and am hoping they make it to at least the Sweet 16. Plus, my bracket has Georgetown winning it all. Whoop whoop.
Also, about 3 more hours till games start!!!
but i'm at work and have no access to tv. waa-waa. Stupid work.

Georgetown is a good pick to win it all. I have BC over Oregon in the finals.
Last time I used this, it had a button you could press that would change the window to like a spreadsheet or something.
You glorious bastard . Signing up now, hope it works on my work comp.
t Wise_a, yeah, I figured G-Town has a pretty complete team that can go deep. Man, BC? Brave pick. They seemed like an ok team the few times I caught them, but didn't they lose their best big man early in the season? They still did alright in the ACC though, which surprised me every time I saw the standings.

Its about experience, poise, and the guys that have been there before. BC went fairly deep last year, and this will be Dudley's last year. He's as close to a superstar as I can see, right after Durant and Oden.

Whenever someone is in danger of having to work instead of watch college basketball, I will be there! :P
And also to post a problem/fix that I've run into today. It's in the "Help" on the player, but I figured I may as well post it here. If you're using FireFox 2 as your browser, sometimes the video will just go blank. To fix it, right-click on the video, go to "Options..." and move the Video Acceleration down off of "Full." Half way down has worked for both my computers, but the help says you may have to turn it all the way down.
Mr Slippy Fist on
Yes, I hate my username and wish I could sign up with a new one. Registration sucks.
Davidson came close to Maryland for a while. Though I prolly shouldn't have been as worried as I was. And I honestly thought GW would do better than they are.

I don't know why I picked George Washington over Vanderbilt. That was dumb.
