ESPN has Charlie Creme's latest Bracketology up:

Several interesting items:
Bracketology with Charlie Creme
Several interesting items:
- He has four entries from the AAC: UConn (1), USF (7), Temple (8), and Tulane (9).
- UConn's bracket includes both of the teams that they faced in last season's Final Four: Oregon State (2) and Syracuse (8). That's quite a drop for Syracuse from the final game to an 8 seed, although I believe that they were a 7 seed last year.
- Other teams in UConn's bracket that hold some interest: Duke (3), DePaul (5), Kansas State (6) and LSU (9). I'm a little surprised that LSU and Tulane weren't made 8 and 9 in the same bracket to sort out dominance in the land of the exiled Acadians.
- Baylor has Notre Dame as its 2-seed, setting up another Elite 8 match which Baylor lost a few years ago in South Bend. But this one, if it occurs, will be in Oklahoma City.
- Maryland is a 3-seed in South Carolina's bracket, behind Washington (Plum / Osahor). I would think that they should beat Washington, but Maryland lost early last year.
