Final Four Thoughts

Birdman · Mar 13, 2010

At leats 3 participants from Big East and Big 12. This is a year that a sleeper can make Final Four as most any team suspect. However the aforesaid conferences have monopoly of quality depth. Pac 10 zilch. ACC Duke only and I see K crying in post game in regional final. SEC only UK with a chance and Big 10 Ohio St best choice. Can a BYU or top A-10 make FF? No doubt but I see chaos first 3 rounds with many BE and B12 teams left in Elite 8. I did not mention Mich St because this team lapses every game and will get beat by inferior team early.

Bring on the banter......that's what makes it fun

Kansas is the only definite. A healthy Syracuse makes it. Kentucky can be upset, but is likely a tick better than other teams this year. I don't think Duke is there. Maybe a long shot... I'll say a team like Kansas State makes the 4th spot.

I disagree with most of the media in that I think the final four will be filled with one and two seeds. Just don't see a team outside of the top 10 that is good enough to make it. The 2nd tier this year, teams like WVU, Gtown, Okie St, A&M, Mich St, Butler - I just don't see it. All of the teams out west have flaws. The MWC teams are dangerous but likely will get beat when they run into a powerhouse. I think Kentucky and KU are definitely the best 2 teams in the country and have very good shots to make it. A few teams I like a bit - KSU, Baylor, Georgetown - but a lot of it depends on the draw. Of course you never know but I will be pretty surprised if more than one team seeded below 2 makes it to the final four.

I'll go with Kentucky, Kansas, Syracuse, Ohio St

You have to see the draw first. Some teams will have a much easier chance then others...

I think the path is more important then the seed. 2,3,4 sees very close this year.
