the "coin" bracket by bobby bancroft

So I picked up this idea from the Notre Dame message board. I've been afflicted with a severe case of the bracekt blues this year. Some mess about a team that plays at Verizon. But moving on I found my motivation in the form of a quarter I borrowed from a co-worker down the hall.

The "coin" bracket. Here's what you do:

You fill in the top 4 seeds in each region as winners of their opening games. Out of those 16 teams you figure that at least 12 or 13 will win. Then for the rest of the games you use a coin. I went with "heads" for the team with the smaller number by their name and "tails" for the team with the higher number by their name.

I came up with two teams making it to Detroit that are very likely to be there on their merit. I came up with one team that could make it. Then I came up with one team that has a better chance of losing in round one than making the Final Four.

Who are the teams?

Memphis...no surpirse
Pitt....still no biggie
Wake...kind of a darkhorse
Temple...HOLY SH*T!
