The 5-12 and biggest upset you have

I don't have any 5-12s. I have Hawaii and Iona winning and Pitt beating Xavier to get to the sweet 16
I am going "chalk" this year; KS vs UNC in the Finals, with Texas A & M and Mich St being the other two finalists. Biggest upset selections are Yale beating Baylor and UNCW beating Duke - setting up a 12-13 in the Round of 32 in the West Region. I also have Chattanooga beating Indiana and No Iowa beating Texas. And of course, Pitt beating Wisc. But after that, it's mostly "chalk". My Elite Eight is KS vs UMiami; Oregon vs TAM; UVA vs MSU; and UNC vs X
I'm so close to picking that Duke loss. I think Baylor might be another upset, and I'm really wondering how soon Oregon will lose. I just don't think Oregon is as good as a #1. They might be the first #1 to lose this year.
I went with the 5-12 loser being Purdue. a 5 always loses, but picking the right one is so tough.

I have St Joe's beating Oregon. But I never win these things, so there's that. I just like picking upsets.
Oh, and I am choosing Wichita State to win the play-in game and beat AZ (sorry, SMF); and also, from the other p-i-g, I am choosing Michigan to win, and then defeat ND, and face WVU in the round of 32. Beilein vs Huggy in a battle of the 1-3-1 zones!
I don't think there will be any 12-5's, but I could see Chattanooga upsetting Indiana. I don't even know if there will be that many upsets this year surprisingly. I do like 11) Gonzaga over 6) Seton Hall though, but I guess the biggest upset I think might happen is 13) Iona over 4) Iowa State.
Having a real hard time with Oregon's region. I don't like anyone for the final4. I think they messed that up. I think if Kentucky was in that region I would pick them hands down. I settled on Oklahoma but doubt they make it. I probably would have picked Duke if they had any depth.
I don't have a 5-12 either, but all of them are possibilities. My biggest upset is Hawaii over Cal. Also have NI over Texas, Zags over the Hall and Wich St over Arizona. I also correctly picked Dayton over SU 2 years ago and this time I think SU gets it done.
Thanks fellas for your amazing expertise. I had picked Purdue to lose and I considered Baylor to lose. I read your posts, and decided to not pick a 5-12 upset. How stupid of me to go against the same trends every year and listen to message board experts.
Down goes Baylor and Purdue.

I'm 12-3 so far, with best "win picks" Yale, Wichita State, U Conn and Providence (what a finish THAT was). Worst losses were Iona and Purdue. I also had Chattanooga, but that was a whim. Seton Hall needs to start making shots if I want to go 13-3
