As I near the end of my college undergraduate career studying Bracketology, I feel like I am informed and authoratative enough to present my March Madness bracket to the world. However, with limited technological resources (ESPN wouldn't donate money for one of those fancy touch screen boards like they use on SportsCenter...not that I even asked), I will simply present to you my top 16 teams, seeded one through four in each of the regions.
Number One Seeds:
Midwest (opening rounds in Oklahoma City) - Kansas
West (opening rounds in Jacksonville, FL) - Duke
South (opening rounds in Buffalo, NY) - Syracuse
East (opening rounds in Milwaukee) - Kentucky
No change after the conference tournaments. The #1 overall seed will go to Kansas if they win the Big XII Tournament, and Kentucky if they win SEC with KU loss. If both lose, then it's Kansas. Syracuse's regular season withstands their early departure from the Big East tournament and Duke not losing early leaves them as the best of the rest.
Number Two Seeds
Ohio State, Kansas State, West Virginia, Georgetown
OSU solidifies standing as a #1 seed with Evan Turner's buzzer beater, as do WVU and KSU with their runs to their respective conference championship. Georgetown peaks at the right time to grab a #2 seed.
Number Three Seeds
Purdue, Villanova, Michigan State, Pittsburgh
Purdue's not hindered by Robbie Hummel's loss, and Villanova has been a top team all year. Pitt benefits from the strength of the Big East, and MSU benefits from their history and Tom Izzo.
Number Four Seeds
Baylor, Tennessee, BYU, Wisconsin
Baylor finishes with a strong Big XII tourney, as does Bruce pearl's Crew in the SEC. BYU emerges as the best mid-major after New Mexico's loss to SDSU, and Wisconsin isn't hurt too much by a loss to a hot Illinois team.
