Midwest - I think Houston and Texas are on a collision course (sorry I know this means we lose to Houston).
West - I think UCLA and Uconn are strong. Gonzaga and Kansas are also capable.
South - This region could get crazy if Bama loses (please God), but unfortunately Bama's path looks relatively easy on paper
East?......You tell me!
I don't trust Purdue. I don't trust Marquette. Kansas State? They haven't been at their best since February. Tennessee is on fumes. Duke has been playing well, but could easily lose to a scary Oral Roberts team. Kentucky is capable of beating anyone and losing to anyone. Michigan State is nothing special. Either Memphis or FAU could make a run, but one of them has to lose that game.
Reminder: 8 of the last 9 years a 7-seed or higher has reached the Final 4....I think it could come from here.
Another Reminder: Of the 34 teams that were a top-2 seed and in the AP top 10 after entering the season unranked, none reached the Final Four.....Two teams in the field meet this criteria....Purdue and Marquette.
