As far as B1G teams that might get upset, I'd look to UCLA first, they just had two starters get injured, and they're against a #10 seed UCF. After that, there are a few serious possibilities. Nebraska against Troy and Wisconsin against High Point are solid spots if you want to go for an upset pick. If you really want to go out on a limb, Purdue against Queens might be an upset, because Purdue.

High Point feels like they are going to be that 12 seed that a lot of people pick but they end up losing pretty badly.

March Madness: Four Teams With the Hardest Path to the Men’s Final Four

Usually earning the No. 1 overall seed gets you an easier path in the NCAA tournament, but Duke—along with these teams—finds its road tougher.

March Madness: Four Teams With the Hardest Path to the Men’s Final Four​

Usually earning the No. 1 overall seed gets you an easier path in the NCAA tournament, but Duke—along with these teams—finds its road tougher.

No. 1 Duke, East Region​

Somehow, being the No. 1 overall seed is supposed to come with the easiest path to Indianapolis, but that didn’t quite work out in practice for the Blue Devils. To start with, they’ve had a history in their sub-regional of subpar results and draw a tricky Siena team to open before facing off against what would be the strongest No. 8 vs. No. 9 pairing in either Ohio State or TCU. Then, unless there are some notable upsets, the road goes through at least one Hall of Fame coach in Bill Self or Rick Pitino to reach the Elite Eight. Oh, and there are fellow bluebloods like UConn, Michigan State, UCLA and even Louisville beyond that. Good luck to Jon Scheyer & Co. because a trip through the nation’s capital in this region is brutal.

Just sayin': I am surprised to read that someone actually considers a possible game against Ohio State as part of the "hardest path to the Final Four"...:confused:

Yeah it's definitely the hardest bracket. Imagine that, OSU ends up in a shitty draw. :sick1:
