Required stop on any West coast tripLast up on our tour of the NCAA brackets is the West regional. The #1 here is formidable Pac-10 conference champion UCLA, winners of their last 10 games. The ACC representative? #2 Duke faces #15 Belmont.
One final DISCLAIMER! Read on at your own bracket's peril, and as always, let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Sweet 16: UCLA, Duke

Final Four Pick: UCLA
Brian's "wisdom"
I do not see many upsets here. Although being on the east coast clouds my psychic abilities, hearing that UCLA has quietly won their last 10 games in a tough Pac-10 conference tells me they are built for the long haul. ACC representative Duke is very overrated in my opinion as a #2. They could easily make an early exit the first weekend, falling to #7 West Virginia. Our buddy Christian is high on Drake, and this bracket is particularly heavy on the mid-major - Xavier, BYU, Western Kentucky, and WCC champion San Diego.

Drake to the Final Four... you heard it here first.
I might be losing to Jeff in brackets, but definitely called WVU over Duke. Thank you, thank you.
