It was definitely a down year for the BIG 10; there is no doubt.
The ACC is strong this year; I just don't think that the entire Final Four will be ACC members (my bracket has two). Under S. Miller, Arizona usually doesn't choke till the Elite 8, but I think this is their year to make it to the promised land (I have them taking down Florida State in the Sweet 16). If U of A makes it that far, they may like the home cooking of playing the Final Four in Phoenix. As long as their entire roster is available, I think Kansas is too strong for their region, and will take out Louisville in the Elite 8. Looking forward to tomorrow, and the beginning of the greatest 3 weeks in sports.I'm just curious (you can also just contribute a couple of your picks if you aren't brave enough)

Unveiling my bracket on twitter this evening around 8pm EST.
Here's a sample of my first round picks (not counting play-ins) at the moment, unless I change my mind again:
Marquette wins vs South Carolina
East TN wins over Florida
New Mexico wins over Baylor. Am I really saying this?! I'm sorry, but I can totally see this game being the one that messes up tons of brackets.
I would love to see your prediction of the University of Michigan making it to the Final Four, but I am one of little faith.
They just might make it happen for me!
