In my sane picks, I have gone back to my roots and picked Big 10 heavy.\u00a0 I have Michigan State upsetting Louisville in the Midwest, Ohio State taking down Wisconsin in the West, Kansas beating Georgetown in the South, and Indiana holding off Miami FL in the East.\u00a0 This will lead to my nightmare as the Hoosiers take down Kansas and Ohio State to win the national championship.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In my insane picks, I have Duke upsetting Louisville in the Midwest, Ohio State taking down Kansas State in the West, Kansas beating Florida in the South and Indiana still holding off Miami FL in the East.\u00a0 This time, the Big 10 teams lose in the semi-finals, as Duke will beat Kansas to win the national championship.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My sympathies in advance to Hoosier and Blue Devil fans.\u00a0 OK \u2013 being from Purdue, my sympathy really goes out to Blue Devil fans \u2013 picking Indiana knowing my teams tend to get upset early was probably subconsciously intentional.\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry, I will likely take down a third school with my second chance picks\u2026.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We already have 248 entries in the contest \u2013 and I am sure that we will get our normal avalanche of last-second entries \u2013 so we should have a great contest once again this year.\u00a0 Make sure you get your picks in \u2013 and good luck to everyone in Stomping the Lunatic!!!!!<\/p>\n
