I know no one cares.

But, I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of upsets this year in the tourney.

It wouldn't surprise me, seems there's always a few. I wonder who will be this years Cinderella.

There are going to be some really weak teams in the field. You look at the resumes of the at large teams and it's sad.

Oklahoma State is 5-9 vs top 100 teams and they are considered a lock. Pretty pathetic. This does set the stage for conference champs from smaller conferences to pull the upsets.

this will be the weakest 64 team field that i can ever remember, would not shock me to see no #1 seeds in the final 4.

If at least one of Kansas or Kentucky aren't in the final 4 I will be shocked.

4-3 against RPI top 15 is what is getting them in. This is a weak bubble this year.

With this field being so weak it makes it even more disappointing that OU didn't make the tournament.

 

[red recluse]

imagine how awesome this year would be with a 96-team field!

I want to see that game. I'm just not sure who the other 2 team will be joining them. I don't see Duke being that strong. A Big East team will probably make it, Syracuse or Nova.

I would bet that there is a better chance all 4 #1 seeds make the final four than none.

The weaker the field of 64/5 the more likely more higher seeds (1-4 in each region) will move on to the sweet 16. Sure there probably be a 12 or 13 seed pull an upset, but that always happens every year.

Last year all the top 16 teams made it to the sweet sixteen except for two (Arizona as a 12 seed, and Purdue as a 5 seed was the only exceptions)

2008 was a little crazier, with only 11 of the top 16 making it to the 2nd week. You had two 12 seeds and a 10 seed make it to the round of 16.

2007, 11 of the 16 made it as well, but of the 5 that wasn't, none was double digit seeds and the highest seed to make it to the sweet sixteen was the 7 seed UNLV

I just think that this years tournament will be similar to last years with the higher seeds success. Just my opinon though.
