NCAA Bracket 2012 Predictions: No. 1 Seeds That Will Dominate Lesser Opponents

The best way to guarantee that you'll have success when filling out your 2012 NCAA tournament bracket is to ride three of the No.1 seeds as far as you can go.

Notice I said three of them; this will be very important.

I have Michigan State, North Carolina and Syracuse advancing to the Final Four.

What about Kentucky you ask?

Many people will argue that Kentucky is the best team in the nation, and at least on paper I would agree. The thing is, I have a very hard time trusting them in a tournament situation.

This is a team with a ton of young talent on the floor but nobody of consequence on the bench. Their depth is pathetic, and in a tournament that heavily depends on attrition and endurance, they will find themselves upset.

The talent they do have is extremely inexperienced. They have a possible third-round matchup with a very good UConn team that does have the experience—they won the championship last year mind you—and that's where I think we will lose them.

The other three No.1 seeds should be locks though, so mark it down.

Let's be honest about one thing. Yes, Cinderella stories happen in March Madness, and often times very good teams are upset.

That being said, I do not see that being the case in 2012.

Michigan State, North Carolina and Syracuse have all the intangibles that cause me to believe they will roll through each of their opponents on the way to the Final Four.

Each team has star players, good depth and are coached by three of the best in the game—Tom Izzo of Michigan State, Roy Williams of North Carolina and Jim Boeheim of Syracuse.

After that it's pretty much a toss-up, as each of those three teams has championship caliber talent and coaching.

It may not be the trendy thing to do, but if you want to have success in your bracket, lean on all of the No.1 seeds but Kentucky.

They will dominant anyone that gets in the way of the Final Four.
