    I will post a link when the field is filled.

    Rob said he would donate one of his F50's to the winner....

    Gators looked good, but unfortunately I don't see them getting into the Sweet Sixteen. They aren't consistent enough and I don't know which team will show up. They look great at times and complete crap other times.

    Btw I think Arizona ruined everyone's bracket.

    Agreed, but as a proud UF alumnus, have to show my Gators some love!

    Az loss was a bracket buster for me in the little contest we have with our best friends & family. Funny though, regardless of who I have in my bracket, when it gets close, I always find myself rooting for the lower seed!

    Az loss not so tragic in my F-chat bracket since I had them losing in next round to Kentucky.

    Sure, I will be one of the guys that say I THOUGHT about Buffalo - ONLY because I knew
    they hired a new football coach a few years ago who turned around that program and made
    them into instant winners, and I HAD some leery thoughts about Arizona and the FBI investigation,
    BUT they did well in the PAC-10 tournament, so I went with them.
    One of these years I will actually go with my gut instead of common logic.

    Round of 64 has been a tad boring the past few years. Nice to see a few Cinderellas try on the glass slipper & have it fit.

    My South bracket is decimated, but if Kentucky can come through, I'll be OK. Doing OK in other regions...T

    SEC looking pretty bad now. I think no one else will join UK in the sweet sixteen from the SEC.

    I missed the UNC-TAMU game as I was watching other stuff, but WOW. Didn't see that coming...especially not even with that margin of victory.

    What this year told me is this:
    Next year, toss out all the 'seeding' numbers, because except for a handful of teams,
    everyone is equal.
    All it takes is a team to get hot at the right time, or cold at the wrong time, or get a
    key injury in the tournament and you are toast.
    Next year I will pick my bracket from the inside out, instead of from the outside in,
    that would have helped me quite a bit if I used that logic.

    It also tells me to play my gut instinct, because I told my co-workers that I would not be
    surprised one bit if Virginia lost in the 1st round, and I also thought AZ getting bounced in
    the 2nd round (not the 1st), but I still chose AZ to get to the final 4.
    Had I done that (gut) this year it would have saved me a few games, but I'd still have a bunch
    of losses from the other games.

    We should not be surprised at the Big 12 playing so well, it is a tough physical conference
    where most of the teams are really good - they beat the crap out of each other, and still, a
    bunch of them made it to the tourney. The only way to beat a decent physical team is to
    shoot lights-out, especially from 3 pt land (Buffalo, UMBC). It also helps if you play crappy
    and allow a 'lesser' team to control you.
