4. BC is not a dark horse really.
They got a lower seed than they deserved. I actually have them to the final four.

5. I've got OSU going to the F4, and they're a 2nd seed....
But I somehow consider them a darkhorse after the way they played against Iowa last weekend.

7. Gonzaga has an easy bracket and is ranked too low
Duke has the easiest bracket overall. So Memphis out, Gonzaga and Duke in, my guys at UConn are probably not going to make it to the final four, and Nova has a really, really tough bracket.

But do not take my advice. I never even come close in the office pools.

8. I'm always feelin' UConn
I'm having an inner struggle with Gonzaga right now. Could this be their time?

Thanks for the insight - much appreciated!

13. Duke DOES have an easy bracket.
There are people here saying that they have the hardest. I don't get it. The Washington DC bracket has UCONN, UNC, Michigan State, Illinois, Washington and Kentucky. George Mason is also in there. That's a tough bracket. The Atlanta bracket, in which Duke sits, has Texas and Syracuse, GW as well as Duke. I think Syracuse is spent and Texas can lose to anyone at any time. I see Duke to the final four unless they go out and GIVE a game away.

14. Oral Roberts
you can get odds in the 1:1,000,000,000 range for them to win it all.
