We did a bracket of 65 pitting teams against each other for the right to call themselves the best named team in the tournament.
I personally seeded the teams and then handed them off to THE-A-TRAIN to complete the brackets. (My personal Final Four ended up Purdue, Lehigh, Wake Forest, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, with Purdue defeating Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the finals)
Purdue was the Number 1 overall seed. Cornell defeated Syracuse in the Play-in game.
Things to consider were:
1. General Awesomeness
2. Intimidation Factor
3. Originality
4. How well it sounds with the school name
5. Sweetness of Logo, Colors, Mascot, etc.

So we have the North Texas Mean Green out of the Midwest.
The San Diego State Aztecs out of the West.
The Old Dominion Monarchs out of the South.
And despite, having to play in the Eastern region, the Oakland Golden Grizzlies.
In the Final Four, the Cinderella run of the 6 seeded Mean Green ended as they were taken down by San Diego State. Another story continued though as the 6 seeded Golden Grizzlies advanced to the finals. HOWEVER, tossing aside another glass slipper, the San Diego State Aztecs secured victory in the finals.
Congratulations to the San Diego State Aztecs!
