There you have it folks! The first round winners! I'll check back for round two with my picked winners (and games) and adjusted picks for actual games. You know, just in case for some weird reason one of my picks doesn't turn out to be right!

By far the best game is USC-Kansas State with O.J. Mayo and Michael Beaseley. The smartest game has to be Stanford-Cornell.

Go Villanova, St. Joe's and Temple! Represent the Big Five!!!

As for the Final Four, my picks are North Carolina, Kansas, Stanford and UCLA. My national champion is UCLA over Kansas.

We'll keep track after each round like this:

Final Four: UNC, Kansas, UCLA, Stanford
National Champ: UCLA

Green means I'm still alive and red will mean I am out!
