I'm sure Evil didn't have Missouri in his Elite 8 last season. That's what makes college basketball and March Madness so great. It's all so unpredictable. |

I said most, not all.........and injuries can certainly impact things. If I had to bet my life on it, I would pencil in Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, Duke, and Purdue into the Elite Eight. I know it will shock some people to see me put Purdue there, but they have experience and grind teams defensively. Of course, putting Purdue into the Elite Eight this early in the season could be some sort of reverse jinx on my part. I'm not sold on Texas, Syracuse, and a handful of others.....I need to see them play more than CreamPuff University every other game....but wouldn't be surprised if UCONN made it there. And yes, there is almost always a surprise team that makes it. A lot depends on the matchups and sometimes a team just gets hot or has a lot of luck on their side. If there was a person on the planet who could correctly pick all of the elite eight in december, let alone march, he would be swimming in cash. |

I picked the entire elite 8 correctly on my bracket....the second year florida won it all.....had the elite 8 and final four correct, but picked OSU.......I was raping on Yahoo before that.... if you asked me to chose them now though, tough time.....because knowing who is a 2 seed and a 3seed makes a huge difference. |

That was my point. The 5 teams I mentioned should not be facing each other to get into the Elite 8. Barring injury or other strange circumstances, I see those teams as close to 'matchup proof' through the first couple games as you can get. Of course, a lot of it depends on how you are playing towards the end of the season.....injuries....and other things that can disrupt your team. |
