Florida is the only team left that I care to see win, haha.

I'm indifferent as to Xavier and Gonzaga.

Im all in on Mike White on this one. Then Xavier. But I think KU is going to win.
Gonzaga
Oregon
South Carolina
The other two could float of in the Abyss, or be kidnapped or something for all I care.

4-8: Oregon, Florida, KU, UK, UNC
Nothing against KU, just a pull-for-the-underdog thing. Nothing against Florida, just their school has been there, done that, and I'd like to see something unique. Not much against Oregon, but I'm still salty about Brooks' woofin' last year.

1-3: Couldn't tell you.
If Xavier beats Gonzaga, they might be my clear FF favorite, but I can't really say whether I want them to beat Gonzaga or not b/c despite being a 1-seed, Gonzaga and Few have never been there, either, so they still have an upstart feel, if not an actual underdog feel.
I don't have hard feelings as bad toward SC as bad as I've had them against some other teams who've knocked us out. They earned it, and I just haven't cared anywhere near the level I usually do this year.

4. KU
5. Oregon
6. UK
7. UF

Having Xavier, Florida, South Carolina, or Gonzaga in the championship game against KU, UK, or UNC makes that game far less interesting to me. Obviously I wish Duke were still playing, but I would rather watch a championship game with one of those other three on the other side of the bracket.

Pulling for the Gamecocks. I figured that might lessen the sting losing to them. Maybe. I could care less about the rest of them. Just no Hiles or Wildcats!

1. Winner of Xavier v. Gonzaga
2-5. Don't care
6. UF (my wife is your typical Florida alum/fan--didn't even know the gators were in the tournament until I told her this morning. Now every Florida "fan" is putting a gator logo on their fb page)
7. UK (for obvious reasons)
8. UNC (for the most obvious of all reasons)
