My bracket is all but officially obliterated, but in the meantime, here is whom I'm rooting for in the Sweet Sixteen (some of which adversely effect by bracket)... (1) Florida over (5) Butler, (7) UNLV over (3) Oregon, (4) So. Illinois over (1) Kansas, (3) Pitt over (2) UCLA, (5) USC over (1) North Carolina, (2) Georgetown over (6) Vanderbilt, (5) Tennessee over (1) Ohio State, and (3) Texas A&M over (2) Memphis.

While I'm at it I should keep going with this second-chance bracket*... In the Elite Eight, I will pick (7) UNLV over (1) Florida (last one-seed dropped), (3) Pitt over (4) So. Illinois, (2) Georgetown over (5) USC, and (3) Texas A&M over (5) Tennessee. That would make a UNLV-Pitt-Georgetown-A&M Final Four. And my original pick of Georgetown over Pitt in the final still stands.

* A second-chance bracket resets for the Sweet 16.
