I feel like my bracket is basically chalk - but it's really not.

That said, I do have WISC/ARIZ in the E8. This is my tough one.

Yours?

I don't know whether Northern Iowa is going far or losing to Wyoming.

NC State vs. LSU. MY heart says LSU, but my head says NC State. What should the pick be?

I've got them in the Final Four, so they're definitely losing to Wyoming.

First two posts are reading my mind.

Sconsi vs Zona is so freaking hard to pick. Prob gonna go Zona.


And then the East is just such a wildcard. Nova is the weakest 1. UVA I would have in the ship BUT with how justin anderson hasnt been playing well, im not confident anymore. Not feeling OU as a FF team at all and Louisville isnt the same without Chris Jones.....which brings me to UNI. And im like, well shite. If Im gonna go 1,1,2 (kentucky, duke, zona) i feel like UNI fits what Im missing

Exactly my reasoning, and exactly my final four.

Oklahoma/UVA, who to bring out of UVA, Villanova, and Oklahoma from the East, and UNC/Arkansas.

I'm also worried that I only picked a single team seeded below 10 in the first round.

I just haven't decided on my strategy at all yet.

I'm leaning towards picking against Kentucky. Not only is it boring as shite to pick the 1 overall to win it all, it won't help you win a pool if it happens. I also don't want to cheer for them. Can't decide when to knock em out, mainly because I don't actually believe it although Maryland, notre dame/Kansas, Wisconsin/Arizona are all possible candidates on that front.

Next, I dunno who I'm taking below a 2 seed to the final four. Need to get my final four seeding to add up to 12 or so and I can't figure out who is getting that done for me. Or is this a year where we see 1s and 2s make up the whole final four? It would make sense with about 7 teams that seem a level above. So I haven't decided on that aspect of it either.

Once I figure that out, I'll have to decide on first round upsets and a double digit seed or two to the sweet 16. Right now, I'm pretty clueless on what I'm gonna do.

And you know just because we try to use any logic and rational, it will blow up in our face.

It's also way too tempting for me to put NCSU/LSU advancing pretty far. I mean shite, I can rational that NCSU can make it to the FF. Beat LSU with it's poor coaching, beat Nova who is the weakest 1 while playing similar to the win vs Duke. Then its Lousville who we already beat at louisville with chris jones. So that one is the easiest! Then vs UVA in the EE? Well shite, we took them to the wire at home and played them close until late at UVA. And now Anderson is flukey, so shite NCSU is in the Final Four now vs Duke. And well frick, we split the season series vs Duke, so why cant we win this one. Then vs Kentucky in the Final...well at this point we made it so far, who knows! Jk Kentucky wins by 50

I went ahead and picked Kentucky. My bracket is different enough to do well. And I'd hate to nail some picks only to see not picking Kentucky come back to bite me. Also, after rooting against the undefeated Pats, I vowed never to pull for the undefeated team to fail ever again. Not worth killing sports history.

Shockers, could go down in round 1 or make it all the way to a rematch with Kentucky.

Michigan State, I think they are in a good spot to make s run. Never count out Izzo.

I have SMU vs Iowa St and that's a tough one. Iowa St. has been playing w fire. That's gotta run out eventually.
