Thoughts on the NCAA Brackets

I am far from an expert on the NCAA brackets, barely following the teams in the league. But I'm gonna take a gander at what could possibly go down in this bracket.

And the Winner Will Be...
Too difficult to determine. Though this was far from a variable season with regards to the top teams, there has not been a team that has established any dominance. Each team has been exploited for many reasons. I highly doubt that all four #1 seeds will make the Final Four. If I had to go with a winner right now, I would probably say that, as much as I hate to say this, Duke will repeat against #2 Notre Dame, which had a legitimate shot at a #1 seed anyway.

The Biggest Failure Will Be...
I would not put it past Texas to be ousted in the 1st round. I don't know much about this team, but I do know that they have monumental highs and lows. They are placed at a #4 seed, but that does not mean anything in the NCAA tournament. Texas is the most inconsistent of the top teams. I think BYU will be fine, contrary to popular belief. Losing their big man makes it very improbable to make the Final Four, or even the Elite 8, but they have a great guard in Jimmer Fredette.

The George Mason Will Be...
Uncertain as of now. It could certainly be Memphis, who will face Arizona. Memphis is not a bad team right now, but Arizona is known as a choker in the tournament. But that does not mean anything because they will be stuck facing either Texas or Oakland. I don't foresee any real upsets in the Sweet Sixteen, although we could always use some Morehead State (sorry Louisville fans, but my votes for Morehead).
