I don't give NW any chance against Gonzaga------ditto Vandy.

Give VTech a shot against Nova if they beat Wisconsin which I think they will.
 
I think SMU is going to beat Duke and go to the Elite 8.
I also think Miami will beat Kansas in Rd 2.

I did zero research so who knows? But here are my picks that qualify for this question:

SMU over Baylor (not picking Baylor more than once, I don't want to root for them)
Xavier over FSU
Middle Tennessee over Butler
MICHIGAN to the Elite Eight! Louisville is hot and cold historically in my mind FWIW and I could see the Wolverines turning it into a track meet game, then pulling it out. Oregon/Creighton with key injuries.
 
Need more suggestions here! The pool I'm going into let's you pick ten teams. Each time your team wins, you get as many points as their seed. So I need to know which 12's are going to upset 5's, etc. Picking 1's does almost no good for you. You've got to find people whose seeds are too low.
 
West Virginia goes to the Elite Eight
Maryland goes to the Final Four
Michigan and Nevada go to the Sweet 16.

Nevada with two huge upsets over Iowa St. and Purdue.
Maryland beats FSU, Arizona and West Virginia to get to the Final Four
WVU beats ND and Gonzaga before falling to Maryland.
Michigan beats Louisville

First round losers: Creighton, Minnesota, Cincinnati, SMU
 
I have UNC-W, SMU, St. Mary's, and Middle Tenn State all making the Sweet 16
 
I loved Michigan until this past weekend. I just don't think you can fully recover from what they went through physically and emotionally in 4 to 5 days.
