What part of the bracket is giving you the most trouble???

Lets help each other on our brackets...

The South seems the simpliest to me (usually do the worst when I think that)

And I am having issues filling out the top portion of the West and the WHOLE Mid West!

One bracket I have Wake Forest going to final 4 and then another I have them losing in the 1st round. Whats your Mid West look like??

Thanks for the insight

Here are my brackets

I'm new here, here are my brackets

Ok it won't let me upload a pdf

But most trouble is deciding whether Flor. St. can beat pitt. and whether Missouri and beat memphis. Also if these teams go further and Flor St. beat Duke (Probably). So I see Flor. St. either as a long shot or a bracket buster. Tough call. I see Missouri being the same. And of course every year I have trouble calling W. Virg, and whether they show up.

The whole Mizzou and Memphis section is giving me a headache. IF they play each other, who is better. Same with FSU but I still like Pitt a lot.

I am having trouble with Michigan St. I just don't think they are that good but can't figure out who will beat them. I think USC will beat them if they win, but I don't think BC will beat them if they beat USC.

I have scratched and penciled back in more times with BYU/ Texas AM, Washington/ UConn, and Missouri/ Memphis than any other games.

Id like to move Washington far in my bracket but they easily could loss to Miss St. :think2:

I'm having trouble with the west. I don't love UCONN without Dyson and I like the other number 1s better so I don't want them in the final four if at all possible. Purdue is an intriguing team as is Washington playing in Portland but to have either to the elite eight or beyond is risky because they could easily lose in the 1st round (Washington's matchup with miss st. is tough) or in the second round against each other. And I don't know what to make of Memphis. Some people hate them and others think they could go all the way. Love their defense but I'm not sure about the rest.

yea ... I have a lot of those type of things. I like to move Wake out there and if they get to Louisville, I think they can win that game BUT .... do they get upset against Cleveland St?
Do you play it safe or go against the odds? Always a tough decision for me.

Washington will be fine---Let the public gurus pound Miss. State like they are now, Brockman is an under-rated passer for a big man so Varnado has his hands full, I don't care if Varnado broke Shaq's record for blocks. You know how to beat a shot blocker? You go directly right after him with a an above-average big man. Just like DeJuan Blair did against Thabeet. Brockman will do the same against Varnado. Furthermore, Brockman can run the floor for a big man like Karl Malone. An average Pac-10 team (Washington State) already pushed Miss. State around once on a neutral court and now the best team in the Pac-10 (Washington) will finish them off.

Assuming its a decent-size pool (20 or more people) then you can either play heavy chalk so you don't look bad or you can try to win it
