Agree, and you can make a case for any of them. I just like OSU's talent and region this year. I like UK too but I live in the South and everyone will be picking them to win in my bracket challenge, so I want a different pick. LOL, how's that for hard hitting analysis?
I used to extensively research every single team in the tournament for days before making my picks, but with age I've come to realize that it primarily comes down to matchups and luck. For instance, there is no statistical reason why anyone should have picked VCU to make the Final Four last year, but they did it anyways.
Most at larges have looked like top 15 teams at some point during the season, but the lower ranked teams are more inconsistent. It's pretty tough to tell if a team will be able to channel their true talent by the end of the season or if they are maxed out.
