It's that time of year again....

... the time of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

A little delayed, here's my official bracket:

Losing in the first round (seed)

Jackson State (16) -- Glad you could make it. Now get out of here.
Arizona (8) -- Again, not coming close to preseason expectations.
Old Dominion (12) -- The second at-large bid from the CAA doesn't come close to the first.
Davidson (13) -- I'd like this team, but they're playing Maryland.
Notre Dame (6) -- Without their PG, I smell an early exit.
Miami of Ohio (14) -- This was supposed to be a football school that wasn't very good at football.
UNLV (7) -- Javaris Crittenton will put the Yellow Jackets on his back.
Texas Agricultural & Mining - Corpus Christi (15) -- mostly due to sheer longness of name
Niagara (16) -- beating Florida A&M is plenty
Kentucky (8) -- Even Tubby Smith can't overcome this team's sheer lack of talent.
Illinois (12) -- The glory days of Dee Brown and Deron Williams are gone.
Holy Cross (13) -- While they're up against a fairly weak 4 in Southern Illinois, I don't see them winning.
Duke (6) -- This team just isn't very talented.
Wright State (14) -- Who?
Indiana (7) -- Now that Gonzaga's not favored, they'll go back to surprising everyone.
Weber State (15) -- UCLA is too good.
Eastern Kentucky (16) -- At least the players will have something to remember, even if it is getting run out of the gym by UNC.
Michigan State (9) -- Their 1-8 road record says it all.
Arkansas (12) -- If only Darren McFadden played basketball.
New Mexico State (13) -- Kevin Durant is not the POY, but he's still way better than anyone on the NMSU roster.
George Washington (11) -- What was that guy's name who was good last year for this team?
Oral Roberts (14) -- Lost all faith in this team after they didn't beat Memphis last year.
Texas Tech (10) -- Jared Dudley is amazing. Texas Tech is not.
Belmont (15) -- If you can't dance, stay out of the Big Dance.
Central Connecticut State (16)-- What is it with low seeds having big names?
Brigham Young (8)-- Good thing they're not scheduled to play on a Sunday.
Long Beach State (12)-- Tennessee is weak this year, but Long Beach State is nothing special either.
Albany (13) -- After almost beating UConn last year, got a bump up to a 13. Still can't win, though.
Stanford (11) -- Louisville should NOT be a 6. Stanford has a bad draw.
Penn (14) -- Penn is an excellent school. Just not on the basketball court.
Nevada (7) -- Even Nick Fazekas can't prevent another first-round upset.
North Texas (15) -- This team isn't even in northern Texas.

Losing in the second round:

Purdue (9) -- My joke pick to go all the way.
Butler (5) -- Sorry guys, next time don't draw Maryland.
Winthrop (11) -- Excellent team -- but Oregon is even better.
Georgia Tech (10) -- I had them getting by UNLV on luck, heart, and Javaris Crittenton. Won't work against Wisconsin.
Villanova (9) -- They won the best game of the tournament last year, and I see this one as another thriller. This time, though, Kyle Lowry won't pull it out for them.
Southern Illinois (4) -- Why this team is a 4 seed when Creighton is a 10 is beyond me.
Pittsburgh (3) -- If Aaron Gray doesn't have a monster game, this team can lose to anyone. VCU just happens to be anyone.
UCLA (2) -- Gonzaga's revenge! Without Adam Morrison crying!
Marquette (8) -- Should NOT be an 8 seed. And should not have to play UNC. Of course, they do. So they'll lose.
USC (5) -- Much as I dislike Texas, Kevin Durant is one heck of a player.
Vanderbilt (6) -- One season-long Cinderella loses to a better season-long Cinderella.
Xavier (9) -- Gotta give them points for having XU as their abbreviation. Not much else going for them, though. Especially not their draw.
Tennessee (5) -- Wrong seed, early exit.
Texas A&M (3) -- Louisville just might be the best 6-seed in the country.
Creighton (10) -- It's a shame they got a 10 seed. They're better than that.

Losing in the Sweet 16:

Maryland (4) -- Unfortunately, Florida is Florida. End of the road for Jones, Ibekwe, and the everpresent Strawberry.
Wisconsin (2) -- Without Brian Butch, they're pretty vulnerable. Lucky draws got them this far. Oregon will get them out.
Virginia Tech (5) -- A season-long Cinderella can make a Sweet 16 exit with their head held high.
Virginia Commonwealth (11) -- Sorry, but George Mason was a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
North Carolina (1) -- If one team can run with the Heels, it's Texas, who, coincidentally, have Kevin Durant.
Washington State (3) -- See Virginia Tech.
Ohio State (1) -- Virginia has one of, if not the best backcourts in the nation.
Louisville (6) -- Will be sorry they left C-USA for the Big East.

Losing in the Elite Eight:

Florida (1) -- If Porter, Taylor, and Brooks are hitting from downtown, this may not even be close.
Gonzaga (10) -- Kansas is just too good.
Texas (4) -- Jared Dudley proves he's better than Durant.
Memphis (2) -- Can't keep up with Sean Singletary and J.R. Reynolds as Virginia moves on.

Losing in the Final Four:

Kansas (1) -- If Oregon gets hot, nobody can beat them. Nobody.
Boston College (7) -- Their style clashes with Virginia's, and, as a result, they can't beat them.

Losing in the national championship:

Virginia (4) -- Only Oregon can match this backcourt. And they do.

The national champions:

Oregon (3) -- Look at Bryce Taylor's game in the Pac-10 championship game. Then tell me this team isn't unstoppable when they're hot.
