IMO,
Duke and Kansas are locks. Im not trying to get into those reasons.

What I want to discuss is the Merrits of several other teams to get those other two spots. What final four teams always have is great point guard play. Or, at least better than everyone else. 2006 was probably the worst year the NCAA had ever seen for point guards. That year was followed by several straight years of great point guard play. This year doesn't compare to last year, but there are still some outstanding point guards.

Just going straight by offensive rating(ratio of plays ending in points to total plays ended by to, shot, assist, oreb, or fga). The average player has a 101 offensive rating.
These are the best point guards who don't play for Duke or Kansas but play for a pretty good team. I limited this to top 30 teams.
IMO, we better watch out for BYU and Baylor. I'm looking into futures right now.

Arrows,
I've got at least a little credibility on these boards.  I'm treating Duke as a lock due to some heavy research that points me in their direction. I guess I shouldn't use the word lock.

I'm pretty sure he said DUKE just because he knew it would generate posts .

I don't see any ACC team making the Final 8, that conference is awful this year.

Kansas, Kentucky, Villanova, Purdue would be my Final 4 guesses as of now.  If I had to add three teams in contention I would add Syracuse, Georgetown, and Texas.

Nah I said Duke because they have three wings who can light it up. And they are a tough team inside. Thats not saying they are the best athletes but they play tough.

I don't understand how anyone looks at Duke and says "nah" they can't do it. THis is a classic Duke team. They haven't had a team like this since 04.
