This year I'm throwing caution to the wind. In filling out my brackets, I
have decided to go out on the ultimate limb and predict a scenario that has
never, ever happened once in the 64-year history of the NCAA tournament. That's
right: It says here that all four No. 1 seeds will make the Final Four. Call me
a chalk chump if you want, but if this possibility is so obvious, how come it's
never happened before? And why should I try to pick teams that I honestly don't
believe will win, just to be trendy?
The fact is, five teams (Kansas being the fifth) have clearly stood above the
rest of the nation this season, and should do so again in the postseason.
Kentucky, Arizona, Texas and Oklahoma will reach New Orleans, where Kentucky
will prevail over Texas in the national championship game. The sleepers and
Cinderellas will have their moments in the early rounds, as usual, but in this
tournament the best team will usually win. So you can have your giant slayers.
I'm taking the giants.
