The Madness

Well, I thought for the sake of fun, I would share my March Madness Bracket. I am on a yahoo pool, and also did one with some students (the brackets are the same for each). Comment if you are a sports fan (if even if not).
Sorry about the format, but this is the best way I know how to do it:

West
1 Kansas over 16 Niagra
9 Villanove over 8 Kentucky
5 Virginia Tech over 12 Illinois
4 Southern Illinois over 13 Holy Cross

4 Texas over 12 Arkansas
6 Vanderbilt over 3 Washington State
2 Georgetown over 7 Boston College
South

7 Nevada over 2 Memphis

Elite Eight Entrants
Midwest

2 Wisconsin over 11 Winthrop
West
4 Southern Illinois over 9 Villanova
2 UCLA over 3 Pittsburgh
East
4 Texas over 1 North Carolina
2 Georgetown over 6 Vanderbilt
South
1 Ohio State over 13 Albany
3 Texas A&M over 7 Nevada

To the Final Four
Midwest
1 Florida over 2 Wisconsin
West
2 UCLA over 4 Southern Illinois
East
2 Georgetown over 4 Texas
South
1 Ohio State over 3 Texas A&M

Final Four Matchups
Florida over UCLA (I'm crying as I write it)
Georgetown over Ohio State

Finals
Florida over Georgetown (77-69)

Just for fun. All of these picks are guaranteed to go wrong. Last year I got no final four teams right, but the year before I had two, and the year before that I had three. I guess this year, if the pattern continues, I will have negative 1 or 2 teams in the final four. Bummer.
