Alright here's what I've got. With a little explanation, so that I don't look like a complete idiot.
1st round: Midwest
Florida
Purdue
Butler (I know #12s routinely bite #5s, but Butler is just too good to fall into that trap
Maryland
Winthrop - this is a team that shoots 48% from the field and lost at Wisconsin in OT. They can beat Notre Dame
Oregon
Georgia Tech
Wisconsin
Sweet 16:
Florida
Maryland
Winthrop
Wisconsin
Elite 8:
Maryland - they're so deep...
Wisconsin
Final 4:
Maryland
West
Kansas
Villanova - Is there a softer #8 than Kentucky?
Virginia Tech - If they were playing anybody other than Illinois, I'd pick the #12
Southern Illinois - But I really want to pick Holy Cross...but I won't
Duke - It's not a stretch to think that VCU could win, but I'll stick with Duke because of their coaching
Pitt
Indiana
UCLA
Sweet 16:
Kansas - I like 'Nova, but against any other 1 seed save Kansas
Southern Illinois
Duke
Indiana - Kelvin Sampson will coach them this far
Elite 8:
Kansas
Duke
Final Four:
Kansas
East
UNC
Michigan State - until that guy hurt his thumb I was picking Marquette
Arkansas - USC, really? They have more giveaways than takeaways and start a freshman and sophomore. And their freshman isn't named Durant or Oden
Texas
George Washington - Vandy shouldn't be a 6 seed
Washington St
Texas Tech - This is a team that can show up for one game, and that's it
Georgetown
Sweet 16:
UNC
Texas
George Washington
Georgetown
Elite 8:
Texas
Georgetown (how great would that game be?)
Final 4:
Texas
South
Ohio St
Xavier
Long Beach State - I just feel it
Virginia - this is where I have to take into account some strategy. Do I think that Albany can win? Absolutely. But do I also think that, because LBSU will beat Tennessee, Virginia could go to the Sweet 16? Yep. Virginia it is.
Louisville - It's Pitino in Kentucky. Come on.
Texas A&M
Nevada
Memphis
Sweet 16:
Ohio State (but Thad Matta, OSU's coach, left Xavier for Ohio State)
Virginia
Texas A&M
Memphis
Elite 8:
Ohio State - the 18 year old Bill Russell will carry them
Texas A&M
Final Four:
Texas A&M - they're just too fast for Ohio State
So we've got
Maryland
Kansas
Texas
Texas A&M
National Championship?
Kansas vs. Texas
Despite my better judgment:
Kansas is your National Champion...
Bring on your hate.

I hope your right!! Surely Kansas couldn't break our heart 3 straight times, right?
Wow. I'm surprised those Yankees have let you stay such a Big XII purist. I hope you're right too. That would be awesome.
