Which teams do you think will be upset in the Sweet 16 or will all the favorites win? Multiple Picks are allowed. I left off the Baylor and ND games as I felt they were prohibitive favorites and no way will they lose to the teams they are playing. I was also limited by the number of selections a poll question allows.

Looks like the programming for the percentages displayed under the multiple pick scenario needs a little attention.

Some info for the voters: the Sagarin neutral court spread, with the first number being the compiled overall margin and the second being the Predictor margin, which tends to be more accurate:

ND over St. Bon: ---------- 19.0 and 23.5
Baylor over GTech: --------18.5 and 16.0
UConn over PSU: -----------15.5 and 20.0
Stanford over USCar: -------12.5 and 12.0
UTenn over Kansas: ---------10.0 and 12.5
Duke over St. Johns: ---------8.0 and 10.5
KY over Gonzaga: ------------3.5 and 4.0
MD over Texas A&M: --------2.5 and 2.0

So the last two aren't really going to be considered much of an upset, and it's probably the top 6 that should be voted on, since UConn getting beat would be more of an upset on the Predictor line than Baylor getting knocked off. St. Bonaventure is considered the weakest team, with Kansas just a bit ahead of it. Kansas, Stanford, Maryland, and UConn might be have a "more favorable location in region" boost in points thrown their way.
