What follows is a prediction of the Sweet 16 field in the NCAA Tournament (with rankings based roughly on my confidence in the teams making the Sweet 16), eight teams that might crash my predicted Sweet 16 (regardless of region), and my prediction for the rest of the NCAA Tournament (Elite Eight, Final Four, Champion) with any comments if I feel they are needed.
I managed to predict all four Final Four teams in 2019. After a one-year hiatus in 2020 and despite my misreading of the Michigan State Spartans’ season, last season I was able to predict two out of the 2021 four Final Four teams (Gonzaga and Baylor) and that Baylor would win the championship — so I will see if I can keep this relative streak going.
