SIAP

Thought this was neat...you go through the bracket, not knowing the teams. All they give you are rankings.

Click on the "view interactive" box on the left.

I ended up with Kansas over Kentucky. But I had Belmont in the Sweet 16.

Kansas, Michigan State, Duke, Vandy Final Four with Kansas over Mich State in the Finals - I used it as one of my ESPN brackets for shits and giggles.

What makes it even tougher is if you don't look at the average seed.

Surprisingly, I had South Dakota State beating Baylor and UNLV to make it to the Sweet Sixteen. Also had New Mexico, Murray State and South Florida in the Sweet Sixteen

Final Four was Kentucky, Michigan State, Vandy and Kansas with Kansas beating kentucky in the Championship.

Very interesting

That's a cool site but the way they rate Kansas it's very hard not to pick them.

I had KU beating Witchita State in the final

I really want to pick Wichita St to make the final Four in my regular bracket. Someone talk me out of it.

I hate all-freshmen teams like Kentecky, I think Duke lacks the point guard play they usually have, Baylor's draw is terrible, and I have a rule of not picking IU in the tourney. WSU is deep, has lots of seniors, and a quality 7-footer. they also fit my separation theory of making one crazy pick to make your bracket distinctive -- ride that horse. but do I want to put my eggs in the Shockers basket?

I have them in the Sweet 16. I know a lot of people think they'll lose to VCU but I'm not buying it

I had Memphis in my final four, which I never would have picked. And in the two brackets I've done, I have Vandy going to the FF, on this one, I have Harvard beating them in the first round.

It's interesting, but I could tell right away which team was Kentucky.

I haven't seen anyone pick anyone other than KU. They should add "recent chokes" to this.

Lot of people I know had Wichita St making a serious run. Someone even had them playing SD State...but she was a girl...so

Kansas is severely overrated.

My Final Four was:

Wichita State vs. Michigan State
Kansas vs. Vanderbilt

with Kansas beating Wichita St in the finals.

...and i had South Florida beating UNC in the Sweet 16.

How can you? They are a 5/5 in every catagory but 3's. They're very good, obviously, but not that good.
