i think one of the biggest upsets will involve the SEC, which is a really random conference (besides the gators)
either 12 Long Beach will beat 5 Tennessee or 12 Arkansas will beat 5 USC..
but higher than that..
6-11 i think each 11 seed has a great chance of winning
we'll see how much a coach can do.. 11 VCU is evenly matched with 6 Duke, stanford can beat louisville with it's size, vandy is one of those random sec teams that can win lose on any day. and winthop can catch ND sleeping
actually about winthrop. they can make it to the final four if they get lucky.. their only loses are to
4 Maryland,
3 Texas A&M,
2 Wisconsin (by 3), and
1 North Carolina (by 7)

Davidson has an awesome chance to upset Maryland. Stephen Curry and company have underrated talent and a smart coach to knock off the Terps. Davidson will then face the winner of Butler/Old Dominion and I think they'll be able to pull that off as well, before facing a tough Florida team in the sweet 16.
New Mexico St. also has the talent to knock of Kevin Durant and his Texas Longhorns. The aggies have crazy athletiscm and should be able to keep Durant in check just enough to win the game. And they should also have the talent to beat the USC/Arkansas winner to make the sweet 16.

After filling out my bracket, the only "true" upset I see, is 14 seed Oral Roberts defeating #3 Washington St. I've seen ORU play this year, great athletes. The Pac-10 is overrated and Wazzu does not deserve a #3 seed.
