I need someone to talk me into/out of my big upset pick this year

[Capt. Obvious]

I think American can do it.

But Wisconsin is basically playing a home game.

Should I not read too much into playing location?

1. Automatic kiss of death

I just picked Wisconsin for the final four in the DU pool. If you are a fan of UW, I apologize. Since I picked 'em, they will almost certainly lose early.
edited just now- I picked UW in another pool, not the DU pool. In the Midwest bracket in the DU pool, I have Wichita State. Again, for fans of the Wheat Shockers, I apologize.

3. WI usually kills my bracket by knocking out my picks

so for the last few years I just put them in the elite 8 (usually they're an 8ish seed).

Now they're a 2 seed. Not a fan - in fact, I want to pick my cinderalla team so bad.

Screw it. I just changed it back to American (again). It's only 3 lost points for me as I have WI or OR losing to Creighton in the 16.

The sexy upset pick this year is North Dakota St. Everyone is picking them.
So I went with the flow... so I expect them to lose.

2. NOOO!!!!

But Oregon will beat Wisconsin in the next round.

4. Eh, it's as good a pick as any...

I really don't see any clear favorite, or even a group of 10 that will do it. I think most of the #1's are over-rated, too.

5. You're welcome! n/m

6. I picked them

Boo.

I also picked Dayton and Harvard though. Yay!

7. Actually, for the first 15 minutes or so, it looked like a smart pick...

and then....

8. I know, I know

Princeton offenses usually keep these games really close.
