Too early to tell, but Duke has no chance.

You gotta predict some upsets man.

OSU, Kentucky, Baylor and Alabama is my out on a limb projection.

North Carolina
Ohio State
Kentucky
Florida

4 others/sleepers:
-Syracuse (I honestly think the Fine stuff could be a huge deterrent this year, or a rally)
-Xavier (2nd best PG in basketball, behind Taylor)
-Gonzaga (love Pangos (sp) their Freshman PG)
-Mizzou

My guess is it will be 4 teams from the eastern part of the states.

LOL. I wanted to change them just so it wasn't an exact replica of yours, but those are the 4 teams I honestly feel will make it as of now.

Yes you can. In fact, many have already...including yourself.

Duke (gotta do it, and, besides, the Blue Devils will be a very different team by March with Rivers in full-gear)
Kentucky
Ohio State
Xavier (following the recent trend of smaller schools reaching the promised land -- although, I'd argue that Xavier is a legit basketball power, as it perennially challenges for deep runs in the NCAAs -- I think the Musketeers finally break through and reach the Final Four)

North Carolina is right there as well.

Anyone in the Top 12 not named Duke
Ditto

Obviously UNC looks like a favorite out of those teams, but anybody else could do it. I don't think Duke will make it past the Sweet 16.

That is why the the OP asked what are "your" predictions and not "what say you, DeyDurkie?"

It's people like you that make cutting down the nets in April so damn special for a Duke fan.

This. It's a thread of opinions. Right now, I agree with Durkie, but there's no telling how much improvement a team can make between now and March. Coach K has proved that over and over.
