This year has been the most crazy when it comes to top teams losing in a long time. Do you all think one of the blue bloods rebounds from the losses and wins it, or is this the year a 1983 NC State type team wins it? At the start of the year most felt the winner would likely be one of a handful of teams (Kentucky, Kansas, Maryland, Duke, North Carolina, etc). Other teams started rising up (Michigan St, Oklahoma) as contenders. Most of those teams have had bad losses and might not be the contenders they once were thought to be.
Then you have surprise teams like Clemson, who won a number of big games in a row up until the loss to Virginia. I think this might be the year that a team like a Villanova or Virginia (one that wins tons of games but is rarely in the discussion after the first weekend in the tournament) is able to win the title due to a ton of upsets. I don't really have a clue who I think will win it. I just hope Kentucky rebounds from the poor start and is in the discussion by tournament time.
