Clay Kallam's new roundup is cross-posted at Fox Sports, his first column this season there.
Clay goes out on all sorts of limbs: ASU over Stanford in the Pac-10, Michigan State and the Gophers over Ohio State in the Big Ten, Dawn Staley as the next coach at UCLA, Augustus over Cappie as top draft pick, Utah and U-Dub-- who just beat FSU-- as sleeper picks... and Western Kentucky as a resurgent midmajor.
Never heard of WKU's Hilltoppers? They've been to the Final Four three times in the NCAA era, though not since 1992: they crushed La Tech last week. Last year they took out Vandy.
