U-Snub

I was all prepared to write a post about how the NCAA selection committee gave the Huskies the shaft. Then they went and gave them the number 1 seed they deserved, denying me the opportunity. I'm going to use the headline anyway, because it's simply too good to pass up.

The Yellow Jackets, meanwhile, parlayed their victory over UNC and near-defeat of Duke into a #5 seed. But if they win they'll run into the buzzsaw that is Louisville. Duke, who is the good team I'll be rooting for (I love you too, dad), is the #1 seed in a tough bracket.

You should take the 10 seed over the 7 seed in every matchup except Southern Illinois. Michigan State is as underrated as Boston College is overrated. Always bet against the Pac-10 if it looks like a close call. My bracket has Oklahoma State over Louisville, followed by UNC over Kentucky, followed by UNC over the Cowboys. Sorry, dad, it's just not going to happen this year.
