Villanova will beat Kentucky, then lose to Kansas. Even though I regularly pick the Jayhawks to make the Final Four and they never do, I think they'll beat Southern Illinois in the Sweet 16 and UCLA in the Elite Eight to make the Final Four. Elsewhere in the West, Virginia Commonwealth will easily beat Duke, and will barely lose to Pittsburgh.
Penn will get destroyed by Texas A&M, leaving my most recent commenter pleased because I won't talk about Penn anymore after that. The Aggies will then beat Louisville in the second round, Nevada in the Sweet 16 and Ohio State in the Elite Eight to make it another year where all four No. 1 seeds don't make the Final Four. Elsewhere in the South, Sean Singletary's Virginia will have no trouble with Albany and will squeak by Tennesee before falling to the Buckeyes, who will beat Xavier in the second round.
Florida will cruise to Atlanta, beating Arizona, Old Dominion and Wisconsin along the way. Winthrop will beat Notre Dame and Davidson will give Maryland a scare.
Finally, in the east, North Carolina will beat Marquette, Texas and Georgetown to make the Final Four. Maureece Rice's George Washington Colonials will beat Vanderbilt but lose to Washington State. The Hoyas will beat Boston College and Washington State to make the Elite Eight.
I think we are looking at the Kansas-Carolina matchup that has been looming ever since Roy Williams left Lawrence for Chapel Hill. This could finally by the year. Kansas-Florida will be one hell of a game, but I give the Jayhawks the edge because they've beaten the Gators once already. The Georgia Dome crowd will be much more in the Gators' favor than the Vegas crowd was earlier this season, though.
