Did the OPs collection:
I threw in #14 Morehead St. over #3 Illinois, #10 Drake over #7 Nevada, #13 Vermont over #4 Duke (gotta get that 12/13 matchup set up).
Ended up with 5 Big 12 teams in the Elite Eight, as well as UConn, Creighton, and St. Mary's (because **** UNC).
Final Four of ISU, Baylor, Creighton, and Houston.
ISU over Houston for the whole enchilada, because of course.
- #12 James Madison over #5 Wisconsin
- #11 New Mexico over #6 Clemson
- #12 McNeese State over #5 Gonzaga
- #11 Oregon over #6 South Carolina
- #10 Nevada over Dayton

I guess I did two 12/13s. I had McNeese over Gonzaga, and Samford over Kansas, because of course I "voted" against Kansas.
Your Final Four is the one I keep coming up with as I work through the bracket, no matter how I look at the games. I may just have to go with it, but it doesn't feel right. But an ISU/Houston final would simply be the best kind of bonkers ever.

5% of all submitted ESPN brackets picked ISU to win the whole thing.
Only teams picked more than us are UCONN, Houston, North Carolina, Purdue.

Texas Tech will either run them off the floor, or get run off the floor. There seems to be no middle ground with that team. I don't know what they're going to do with that big dude NC St has
I know GCU is a sexy pick but I have StMarys in my Final Four.
I've got JMU in Sweet 16 over Vermont.
Gonzaga in Sweet 16.
SDSU in Sweet 16.
I don't really love those teams, just their paths.
Now I jinxed them.

I used this tool and 3 of the Final Four picks are good, but the 4th is McNeese State. I'm tempted to just throw this bracket into a cheap pool I'm in for ***** and giggles.Found this interesting:

March madness needs to start already. Summary either one team could win and so perhaps could the other.
I’m always solid in rounds 1 and 2. Then some lady who picked FAU beats me in the end
I haven't assessed where I'm selecting the upsets yet.
The first that jumped off the page was (12) James Madison over (5) Wisconsin. I have a feeling that will be a common 12/5 upset, along with GCU/SMC.
I might stretch w/ one 13-over-4, but not sure which. I think Alabama is vulnerable vs. Charleston, but styles are similar and can CofC out-Alabama Alabama? That game's going to be 107-97 or something.
Typically I consider a 14-3 and want to attempt at 15-2, but I rarely do.

I'd have no trouble with yours, either. One Cyclone Moment either way.
Agreed on you with Charleston. I tend to go against teams from the P6 that do nothing but score and play zero defense. Looking right at you Bama and Kentucky.
One of these years when we are the trendy pick we have to actually do it right? Right?!?!?!
I almost always move at least one 11 to Sweet 16, and frequently have two 11s to Round of 32. I tend to not trust 6's. My success rate is ... OK. Usually it's a matter of finding which teams might do that.
My choices this time are New Mexico and Oregon ... but I don't know if I like either to go two rounds. NC State is tempting, but it's placed w/ Kentucky in round 2; I think UK is reaching Elite 8.
