My Final Predictions

Georgia gets in which pops a bubble. I've gone back and forth on my last team in. I've left Illinois State in because I think the MVC deserves two. It wouldn't surprise me if I'm wrong on that one. The last team came down to VCU and Oregon and as much as I would like to pick VCU I don't think the committee will. Wait, no I am going to pick VCU. No wait, back to Oregon. Christ, it will probably be Villanova.

Ok, I'm going with Oregon.
