In my predictions for 2006 last week, I projected that the NCAA Final Four would be Duke, UConn, Villanova and Michigan State. So today I look at ESPN.com and they have 8 experts predicting the final four as well - and 6 of the 8 experts predict the exact same final four. Doug Gottlieb bizarrely replaces MSU with Arizona, a team not even in the top 25 at this point, and Andy Glockner (who?) has Duke, Illinois, Villanova and Indiana. 6 of 8 also have Duke winning it all, while I have UConn (grudgingly) winning it all.
