    Interesting that A&M & UT could meet each other in the 3rd round in OKC. First round is those 4 play in games. FYI

    UT A&M is a great 2nd round match-up. Will be very exciting local game.

    Oregon's path from the West to the Final Four is easier than I thought it would be.

    IMO, Michigan State should be a #1 seed instead of Virginia.

    Rock Chalk Jayhawk. Can't wait for Kansas to disappoint me like they always do.

    They have a minefield of a draw.

    So much for being the #1 overall seed.

    Yeah that pissed me off. Their bracket is stacked, and meanwhile Oregon was the lowest ranked #1 seed and their bracket is cake compared to Kansas/UNC/UVA. I don't get it.

    I never watch enough college basketball to do anything more than just randomly guess at each matchup lol.

    I agree with your Mich State point...but honestly, I think A&M or OU would beat Oregon.

    Duke is the sleeper of this west region honestly as crazy as that sounds. A lot of people have forgotten about them.

    Am I crazy for picking Yale over Baylor?? Picking against a lot of Texas teams (minus A&M) in the first round. Bold.

    No it's not. They changed that recently to avoid confusion.

    Yale certainly has upset potential, but think Baylor will take it.

    Tech is going down in 1st round

    Texas has been all over the place in terms of play. Could definitely see an upset there.

    Nick_713's Nifty Bracket...how soon before it blows up????? I almost picked UConn over Kansas because Jayhawks have a knack for getting bounced real early in recent years.

    They changed it because they finally gave up on the misguided notion of a 96-team tournament.

    Sometimes sense prevails after all.
