The talent all around seems to be down, but it really seems like when March rolls around, it's really gonna be anyone's title. Every team I've watched looks very beatable on any given night.

If I had to pick a team right now, I'd go with Florida.

When the talent level is down, that's when March Madness is at its craziest.

It will be crazy upset time. I'd pick every 12 over a 5 seed.

Everyone keeps saying teams are down, but it's mostly just Kentucky and UNC who have really fallen off.

The top 8-9 teams in the nation this year are rock solid. Then you do have some drop off.

Louisville is better than last year's team. Ohio State and Kansas have at least comparable teams to last year's teams. Duke is better. Indiana is better. Michigan is better. Florida is arguably better.

I think a Big 10 team is going to win. They are all going to be so hardened after their conference schedules.

I agree that there seems to be a handful of teams clearly better than the pack. It'll be a crazy tournament, but in the end you might see a lot of chalk in the Final Four

Louisville is super solid
Indiana is good
Florida is really strong
Michigan is good
Duke relies too much on 3
Watch out for UCLA making a run this year

Duke shoots the three less than almost every team in the top 25

Michigan might still be the most consistent team out there.

I think there are a lot of strong teams in college this year. No one as dominant as 2012 Kentucky or the UNC team at full health, but we are now seeing 8 or 9 legit teams: Duke, Michigan, Kansas, Florida, Louisvillle, Cuse, Arizona , Indiana, and then the usual mid-majors are very strong.

Possibly the best VCU team ever, a very balanced Gonzaga side, and Butler is quite good, too. I think it will be make for a great tournament.

My pick to win it all. Hardaway, Burke, GR3, and McGary.

Arguably the most talented team in the entire country.

It will be interesting to see what happens when they play Indiana.

It wouldnt surprise me at all if any of these teams got to the final four. I am curious if VCU keeps rolling along what how high of a seed they could get.

There are going to be a lot of "upsets" this year. I haven't been truly impressed with any team this year. Hopefully this is the year for Butler..

This is a different Duke team from the previous years. Not Shooting the 3 nearly as much.
