Beware the teams that are the "last teams in." They get abused by the media all week long. Many times they end up winning because they have such huge motivation. Beware Utah St. and Air Force. I will take one of them to win.

You want a stacked bracket of teams who are hot late in the season? One bracket contains 4 of the 6 major conference tournament champions:

Duke-ACC
Texas-Big 12
Syracuse-Big East
Iowa-Big 10

Also the champion of the Valley (So. Ill.) and the champion of the Colonial (UNCW), both conferences with multiple bids. Not to mention GW who was ranked in the top 10 for the latter half of the year.

Tough to pick a 15 over a 2, but take a hard look at the Tennessee-Winthrop game.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Texas LOST to Kansas in the Big 12. Not to mention the fact that Duke manhandled them in Dec or early January when they were ranked 1 and 2.
