If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
I'm talking about the brackets, in case you're in a hole. Arizona is a #1 seed, which is fine, but will have to face Kentucky in the Final Four, if it makes it that far. Why is that bad? Well, those are probably the best two teams in the country right now, and should have a chance to play each other for the national championship, not for the semi-final.
Oregon, despite winning the Pac-10 tournament, got a 8 seed, Arizona State a 10 seed. They both should've been higher (at least Oregon's at a 6 or better). Stanford was a 4 seed, which they deserve, but California, who was just behind Stanford in Pac-10 record, is an 8 seed, too. That, I don't understand at all. But that's for the pundits to debate -- I just hope that Oregon doesn't get killed by Kentucky in the 2nd round after beating Utah.
