NCAA Bracket Selections 2011

Thursday has come, everyone has filled out their brackets and opening tip-off of the 2011 NCAA Tournament is just hours away. The first Thursday and Friday of the NCAA Tournament have a certain buzz about them, kind of like we are watching something great develop in its infant stages. I, of course, have taken the afternoon off and a vacation day on Friday to watch all of the action.

Before we get to the games, however, it is time to unveil the “official” People’s Quarterback bracket. I call it official because like so many of you, I fill out too many of these things to keep track of. This one, however, is the one I am holding myself accountable for, as Regis used to say, “final answer!”

If those first two paragraphs sounded familiar, they should! Those were the opening two paragraphs I used last year before I went on to say how much I know, blah, blah, blah. I know you just want the picks, so we’ll get right to them.

I like upsets early and chalk late. I also have the same Final Four and champion as the President, which isn’t such a bad thing in case he ever gets bored with that simple job he does and comes across the blog. Here are the picks:

East

Ohio State over George Mason
Kentucky over Clemson
Syracuse over Marquette
UNC over Washington

Ohio State over UNC

West

Duke over Tennessee
Texas over Arizona
UConn over Cincinnati
Penn State over San Diego State

Pittsburgh over Old Dominion
Utah State over Wisconsin
BYU over Gonzaga
