The 3/7 bracketology

Honestly, that situation is not that bad. If UT beat Gonzaga and Maryland, we already know they can play with Ohio State. Not to mention that UT is a lot better than they were when they played OSU.

Florida's likely road to Final Four would be: (play-in game), Air Force, Texas, and Wisconsin. That in my mind is not that bad, at least until Wisconsin.

Compare that to UCLA's, which would be Weber St., Vandy, UNLV, and Marquette. Theirs gets tough starting with the second game.

Or OSU, playing Niagara, Villanova, Tennessee, and Georgetown. From seocnd round on, Ouch!

Kansas might well have to beat Central Conn., Kentucky, Louisville, and North Carolina. Brutal from the second on.

Texas is a whole lot more likely to beat Florida than any of the teams listed in UCLA's path would be to beat the Bruins.

I disagree. Vandy and Marquette are both dangerous games for the Bruins. Texas is good, but it reminds me of Florida's path last year -- one close call in Georgetown, the rest of the games not as tough.

Not that he will be close to being right. For one thing, Florida in most folks' brackets is a 2 seed having to earn the #1 back this weekend.

Also, if the bracket actually plays out that way, Florida will play X in the second round. The Muskies would give them all they want.

Vanderbilt and Marquette would be as dangerous to UCLA as Clay Aiken would be to Chuck Liddel. The Bruins would annihilate both of them.

Air Force, Texas, Wisconsin is way tougher than Vandy, UNLV, and Marquette.

I wonder if LG has even seen Air Force or Texas play this year?

I wish Florida would get that matchup with Texas.

Gonzaga, I think, is much more dangerous as a 12 than as a 3, which I think they were last year. I don't care about those match-ups though. That's just one guy's prediction. I like the fact that UT has a 5 in that bracket. That's all I really care about at this point. With some good work this week, we could improve on that 5.

If Florida draws the 'play in' 16seed, doesn't that make them the first overall #1?
If that is true, then I find this newest 'ology' spurious at best....

Just for discussion sake if that is the way it goes down I think we could "sneak by" Gonzaga in the first round although they'd give us a game. They did have quality wins at Stanford and Virginia early in the year. Now, with the way Maryland has been buzzsawing through people, THAT second round matchup would scare me - I think Maryland has a good chance of making the Final Four.

Gonzaga also beat UNC earlier in the year in the same week that UNC blew out UT.

That was with Heytvelt (sp?), of course.

I've seen Texas play, but no, not Air Force. Thing is, AF has lost its last three, all by ten or more, including at home to 13-16 TCU. Their only truly decent out of conference competition was Stanford (mediocre at best) and Duke, to whom they lost by 15.
