Uconn, Pitt, UNC, and Duke
Front running, but I really don't like too many teams outside the top 5 or 6 this year.
The Ville is just too inconsistent. Pac 10 don't like ASU because if Harden has foul trouble or struggle, so will they.
Big 12- OU will have problems when they play a team that can post up with Griffin.
Big 10- Few sweet 16 teams Purdue, MSU, Illinois (dark horse)
but no heavy hitters, I don't believe in Sparty.
ACC- Clemson- Fraud
Wake- Their youth concerns me, talent is there.

North Carolina

UConn
St Marys
the original list is ridiculous. Marquette? You can't be serious. Michigan St? Not a chance. Neither of these teams will make the Elite Eight and at best ONE makes the Sweet 16.
You're sleepers are borderline retarded. Kansas? Must be a massive homer, because they are sweet 16 AT BEST and are probably a first round exit this year. They simply don't have much to work with this year. Florida? Same goes as Kansas. If either one of those two played in the Big East they'd finish 7th or 8th at best. Only reason either is going to make the tourney is because of their name and because of their shitty conferences. Kentucky is no threat in the tourney. The SEC is terrible so they might win their conference, but they won't do anything when they get there. North Carolina handled them easily when they met.
St Marys is the "sleeper" team people need to watch out for. They are better than Gonzaga and have a stud running the point in Mills. St Marys is for real and will do well in the tourney. I see them in a big game for the final four spot vs probably UCLA and I am looking forward to that matchup if it happens.
I still can't even believe you listed Kansas, Marquette, Kentucky and Florida. Michigan St is another team you are grossly overrating probably for the simple fact they bitch slapped your jayhawks and that impresses you, even though that is no quality win. Beating Gonzaga would be 10x more impressive.

UConn, in my totally unbiased and objective opinion
Wake
Pitt
OK
UNC, Cuse, Duke, Louisville, TX, TN & Gonzaga have the horses to be there too.
You need talent, coaching, toughness & luck

syracuse does not have a chance. don't get the fascination people have with this team. they are not that good at all. put em up against a good team and they get squashed.
i can tell you right now that syracuse would be about a 16 pt dog to UNC on a neutral court, yet you classify them together.
north carolina will likely not be any less than a 7 pt fav against anyone in the tournament.
also, tennessee, and texas are not good teams either. neither should be in the top 20.
Final Four:
North Carolina
Pittsburgh
Texas
Louisville
Contenders:
Oklahoma
Duke
Clemson
Connecticut
Sleepers:
Tennessee
Gonzaga
Georgetown
Kentucky
I think Georgetown is going to end up having a tough time with the rest of this schedule set. It seems to me that they will be in more of a sleeper position than contender position when the bracket is finally set.
As for Tennessee, they have the coaching and athletes. I am a homer so I do get to see them play many home games and it seems like we can't ever get the luck that was mentioned before hand. (Luck has a lot to do with discipline and we don't have that so I'm not shocked.)
Kentucky and Jodie Meeks.
Gonzaga and that slew of shooters and hustlers they have assembled will be tough to beat come tournament time. Their coach is pretty dadgum good too if you ask me.
