Somewhat bias, but still very realistic. They're the deepest of any team left, and they have the easiest road to San Antonio.

Somewhat bias? me or you :D I could live with Georgia Tech winning it all. Not only are they a southern team but it would take some of the sting off of that a$$ kickin my Cajuns took in the first game of the season. My
preference for National Champion at this point
1) UAB
2) Georgia Tech
3) Texas
My picks:
Kansas over UAB------------------
GA Tech over Nevada------------- Kansas over GA Tech
St. Joe's over Wake Forest-----------
OK. State over Pitt---------------------Ok. State over St. Joe's
Duke over Illinois----------------------
Xavier over Texas----------------------Duke over Xavier
Syracuse over Bama-------------------
UCONN over Vandy--------------------UCONN over 'Cuse
Final Four:
Duke over UCONN------------------
OK. State over Kansas-------------Duke over OK. State
Duke will win the NC!
OSU, Ga Tech, UConn and Duke, with UConn winning it all. That is not what I want to happen, but UConn looked awfully good in the Big East finals.

Only 4 of my Elite Eight made it :frown:
Georgia Tech
Oklahoma State
Alabama
Duke
Out of these 4, I am now pulling for Georgia Tech
Well I was a surprising 7-1 with 3 of my Final Four picks advancing.
The games that are the most important is the St Joe/Ok St. & UConn/Al game.
So the lowest seeded teams left are #8 Alabama & #7 Xavier.
