Since I am a wannabe Bracketlogist here is how mine looks.
1. Indiana- (This looks like the most talented team in the country, and they have to be the no.1 overall seed for now)
2. Michigan ( Solid team, and their resume is good enough for a 1 seed)
3. Duke (Overrated without Kelly, but Duke always get the benefit of the doubt from the committee)
4. Michigan State (this team is on fire and the 2013 B1G is getting the respect of the 2009 Big East when the conference got 3 number 1 seeds, and I think the B1G may get 3 1 seeds.)
5. Arizona (most overrated team in the country by far and away. Are they a good team, but no way do I see them as a top 5 when I watch them, but they are here for now.)
6. Miami ( they are 9-0 in the ACC and they have earned their spot for now.)
7. Syracuse (if Southerland comes back I honestly think we or Louisville have a shot at getting number 1 seeds, without Southerland we are a sweet 16 team that will need luck to win with Southerland we are a legit final 4 favorite.)
8. Florida (they are a dangerous team, but the talk of them being the dominant team this year were joking they play in a crappy SEC and finally played a decent team on the road, but they are a legit 2 seed.)
9. Louisville (a team like Michigan State I wouldn't want to play in March, but Siva is the most overrated player in the country and actually kills this team when he tries to take over, but Smith is a stud and this team will be tough and honestly besides us have the best chance to move up to the 1 seed line as they could win out if they didn't have to play at the Dome in March)
10 Kansas (the TCU loss is what dropped them to 10 on my board and there offense sucks if McEllimore if off.)
11. Ohio State ( 5 losses and not many quality wins besides Michigan is why I have the Buckeyes as a 3 seed, but they could easily move up to the 2 line.)
12. Butler (awesome wins against Indiana, and Gonzaga, but they have a couple bad losses thus I would give them a 3 seed.
13. Gonzaga( this team looks legit, but they don't have enough quality wins to justify being a 2 seeds and the WCC knocks them to the 4 line.)
14. Kansas State (this shows you how weak college basketball is this year, K State doesn't scare me, but they are beat Florida and are a 4 seed.)
15. New Mexico (won at Cincinnati and are the top MWC team thus they have "earned" a 4 seed.
16. Marquette (honestly just picked them cause they are the 3rd Big East, but they aren't worthy.
With my top 16 here how I would bracket them using geography as the crux.
Indianapolis Midwest Region
1. Indiana
2. Syracuse (cause Miami would be closer to Washington D.C.
3. Ohio State
4. Kansas State
Washington D.C. East region
1. Michigan
2. Miami
3. Louisville
4. Marquette
Arlington Tx, South region
1. Duke
2. Florida
3. Kansas
4. New Mexico
Los Angeles West region
1. Michigan State
2. Arizona
3. Butler
4. Gonzaga
Obviously we have a lot of time till March, but here is how I see it right now, and I think the 4 line is as weak as I can ever remember without Kentucky North Carolina, or UCLA as good teams.
