It does't really help, though. There's usually a 5/12 upset, but the one that the talking heads are touting (UWM over Alabama this year, which I (apparently incorrectly) thought was a sucker bet) is wrong more often than not. And the 12-seed that wins goes down in the next round almost all the time.
Illinois, Syracuse (beating Duke and then UK, BTW), North Carolina, Wake Forest.
Illinois to win it all. That's not a very daring choice ... Illinois could lose one of six, of course, but if so it will be an absolute fluke, and that can't be said for any other team.
