MY Bracket

So we always have questions about the tournament committees decisions, and they always have silly rules to follow. So what if we threw out all those rules. No pods, no concern for conference, just an S-curve ranking. Here it is:

1: Kansas (1) vs. 16: Lehigh (64)/Arkansas Pine-Bluff (65)
2: Villanova (8) vs. 15: East Tennessee State (57)
3: Pittsburgh (9) vs. 14: Murray State (56)
4: Purdue (16) vs. 13: Cornell (49)
5: Vanderbilt (17) vs. 12: Siena (48)
6: Xavier (24) vs. 11: Minnesota (41)
7: San Diego State (25) vs. 10: Gonzaga (40)
8: Wake Forest (32) vs. 9: Notre Dame (33)

1: Duke (2) vs. 16: Vermont (63)

7: Oklahoma State (28) vs. 10: Missouri (37)

Last Four In: Utah State, Dayton, UTEP, Rhode Island
First Four Out: Florida, UNLV, Mississippi State, Kent State
Next Four Out: Wichita State, UAB, Memphis, Virginia Tech

Essentially all the same teams accept I'd swap out Florida and UNLV for Dayton and Rhode Island.

Stay tuned... I'll have a game-by-game break down coming next... oh, and I'll take Winthrop over Arkansas-Pine Bluff tomorrow.
