DISCLAIMER: Teams can still opt out, bringing Duke, er... alternates in. Once we're underway though, no take backs.

Oregon State was picked to finish 12th in the Pac-12. Instead they're Champions and 12th in the Midwest.

Georgia Tech wins the ACC and gets a 9, having to deal with the Ramblers.

Syracuse is in. I'm sure someone out there is pissed about that.

This is the 1st NCAA Men's Tournament to be sans both Duke and Kentucky since 1976.

Indiana won it all in 1976 and were undefeated, the last time an undefeated team won the National Championship.

Gonzaga is undefeated entering this tournament.

I don't know how Syracuse not only made the tournament, but avoided a play-in game.
