I wouldn't pay much attention to that. The best we can really expect the experts to do is figure out who is in, which regions the #1's and maybe the #2's will get, and roughly what seed everyone is at +/- 1 or 2 seeds.

Beyond that, it is just too hard to predict exactly who will be in each region, and the experts don't do a good job predicting that.

How do you think we match up with Kentucky?

honestly not sure, I did not watch a single kentucky game this season.

Usually I watch a lot of basketball and roughly know what most of the top teams look like, but this year I was busy and mailed it in a bit. Saw several KU games, caught a few other odd games that looked interesting (seriously, SD State is a good team, I'll be stunned if they are out in the first weekend), and thats it.

Maybe that will help me in the office pool this year, since of course the ones who win that typically don't know what they are doing. For example, I'm seriously thinking about picking Richmond to the sweet 16 simply because having a spider as a mascot is cool. I have no idea if they are really any good or not.
