Hopefully this graphic displays clearly - my heart is with UConn but I'm not convinced they can get by Memphis or beat whomever comes out of the other brackets (in my scenario, Pitt or North Carolina). I'll be rooting for UConn all the way though.
Some upsets that I predict:
USC over Boston College. I actually think USC could be a sleeper and even get by Michigan before they fall to Kansas but I decided to go with Michigan - I might regret it.
Maryland over California. I just think the ACC is tougher and that Maryland's style will give California problems. But I can't see them getting by Memphis.
Temple over Arizona St. I just never trust any Arizona team to win when they are supposed to and Temple seems to have a decent shot this year.
Non 1-4 ranked teams that might make a run: No one would be surprised if any 1-4 ranked team made a run to the Final Four - but how about 5-16? These teams might make the tourney fun this year: West Virginia, USC, Temple, LSU, UCLA.
What about those 1-4 ranked teams? I think Missouri and Xavier might prove me wrong re: getting to the Final Four. Memphis could get to the championship game I suppose but tough to see them beating either Pitt or North Carolina in my bracket selections.
