    New Mexico is +354 to win the West region?!?!?!?
    OMG!

    I just ran numerous excel spreadsheets and simulations and I have New Mexico at -703.5. Who the penetrate out of that region has a snowballs chance in hell against them? I am serious.

    If you've watched New Mexico this year you definitely know how good this team is. It is penetrating JIZZWORTHY. They have an RPI of 2 for a reason. They beat numerous top 25 teams on the road. They don't ever foul either. Trust me, you won't find these niggas that play New Mexico in the bonus. EVER.

    New Mexico WILL win the West. They will probably win it all. They are better than at least 3 or 4 NBA teams. This team should be -money to win the title, yet they are +money to win their REGION?

    I assume a lot of books will go broke with this line unless this is rigged.

    I'm glad we're on the same wave length here. I have New Mexico in the Final Four as well. Williams, Snell and Kirk are all legit. Only things that make me hesitate are Alford's lack of previous overall tourney success and the MWC's tendency to fall flat on its collective face in the Big Dance. Not enough to steer me away from advancing the Lobos to Atlanta, though.

          Not saying I disagree with you that NM is a strong contender coming out of that region, but your "excel calculations" have them as -703.5 to win a region? The second I read that sentence you lost all credibility in my eyes, no college bball team ever has been or ever will be that big of favorites. Even if they have a 90% chance of winning every game your number is nowhere even close

              I got UNM in the FF, however I wouldn't be surprised if Ohio State or Gonzaga won that region. Ergo if give UNM about a 1/3 chance and 3/1 payout sounds about right.

                        Even if ND beats OSU (and they could) New Mexico wouldn't beat Notre Dame.

                                Ohio state will lose early...more than likely in the first round.

                                  I think the Notre Dame/Iowa State winner gets them.
