I am not going to count anything less than at least a 5 or more seed difference as much of a difference. Here are mine. Some might be crazy, but it has been a crazy year.

Hawaii over Cal
Wichita State over Arizona
UNC-Wilmington over Duke
N. Iowa over Texas
Butler over Virginia
Little Rock over Purdue
Iona over Iowa St.

As crazy as this year has been,, watch the brackets end up mostly chalk.

Strangely, even in this year.........I could see it go mostly chalk.

Alot of top teams from the lower conferences didn't win their tournament so even tho there is less talent at the top this season compared to last season, they aren't facing as good competition either

I don't really think there is a lot of good match ups this year for the lower seeded teams. I'm sure there will still be a few that happens that surprises everybody, but this year just seems harder to pick.
I thought Stephen F Austin could be an intriguing one in the 5/12 match up but they didn't get that seed

I picked the biggest upset of them all - that if/when UK loses, this board will not say that Cal should have played more zone. I give it 1:10,000 odds.

South Dakota State
S.F. Austin (Elite 8)
Gonzaga to Sweet 16
VCU to Sweet 16
and I guess you could consider 10 seed Syracuse over 7 seed Dayton as an upset pick

I didn't plan this ahead of time but I got done with my bracket and realized I'd been merciless to the Pac 12. I have all of them except Oregon losing first round, and Oregon losing 2nd round to St. Joe's. Also picked Yale over Baylor. Notre Dame over West Virginia and UK over UNC and Xavier are notable upsets later on.

No I haven't. But ulis>ferrel and everyone on IU. And murray>everyone on IU. After we blow you all out (if you even make it to 2nd round) then I highly doubt we'll be seeing you around here for a long time. Crean is trash that IU fans want fired. For anyone to truly pick crean over cal in a basketball game must've had some severe brain damage at some point in life. What is clappy's biggest accomplishment? Being a 1 seed getting knocked out in sweet 16 and having a ring ceremony for his sweet 16 team? Ha. Pathetic.

Yea when I saw we got screwed with a 4 seed having to play UNC I got upset. At no point did seeing IU in the bracket bother me. Clappy has never won anything so why be nervous that he will this year? He's a proven loser that has never won at a meaningful stage. Which is why he holds ring ceremonies for sweet 16s. He doesn't know how to win at the big stage. Playing Kentucky is like your all's national title. But we, we got bigger fish to fry. We're trying to win it all and in no way shape or form will IU get in the way of that. IU finished the season losing to Michigan, why would anyone be scared of them? As I said. After we blow you all out will you be here to eat your crow? Probably not you'll probably cry yourself to sleep saying "we'll get em next year" like Louisville fans always do. Very very pathetic, expect nothing less from patheticington.

In order of most sure:

Uconn(9) over Colorado - Uconn is hot, I think they can take down Kansas. They roll past Colorado.

Providence(9) over USC - Two great guards. That always means something in the tournament. Like Uconn, they could take down UNC.

WSU(11) over Zona - Shockers are my sleeper pick. I think they could go back to a F4. half their losses came in November, and three of those without VanVleet. They are much better than their record/seeding shows. Arizona is similar to Vandy, but WSU won't be so cold to start.

VCU(10) over Oregon St - Oregon St is without one of their better players for this week. and they have 12 losses. I like how VCU still plays even without Smart.

Nooga(12) over Hoosiers - Not much on this. More or less what I;ve heard from everyone. A 5 loss season, even for a mid-major, is nothing to scoff at. If there's anything to this JBJ rumor, that could weigh on the team. He also has his own issues. Could he mail it in?

Michigan(11) over Irish - Irish seem very hot and cold. Michigan *could* be coming off a win, and starting the tournament with the leg-up. SImilar to WSU pick.

Hawaii(13) over Cal - That coaching shakeup could loom over the team. Brown and Rabb have underachieved. I'm not entirely sure they wouldn't rather get started on their NBA careers than have to travel around the US for the tournament..

UNCW(13) over Duke - UNCW plays a style that could really disrupt Duke's crappy Pointguards. Duke can not sustain an injury, fouls, or fatigue... This could happen.

Iona(13) over ISU - Tim Cluess has had this team rolling for the last 3 years. They play hard defense and with lots of energy. It won't be long before Cluess finds himself coaching in a power conference.

That's about it.
