NCAA Tournament 2011: 10 Mistakes You Probably Made on Your Bracket

The NCAA Tournament is officially upon us, and that means amateur "bracketologists" all over the country will be keeping close eyes on their television screens to see just how close they came to predicting the the outcomes.

With most brackets, there will always be a few mistakes. A certain team pulling an upset or a Cinderella coming out of nowhere can completely destroy a bracket and cause everything to fall apart.

Here are 10 mistakes that were probably made on your NCAA Bracket.

No.10: Princeton Upset over Kentucky

There has been a lot of talk before the tournament that Princeton may be one of the ultimate sleeper teams. Experts are also saying that Princeton has a legit chance to knock off Kentucky, a team that has looked far superior over the course of the last two seasons.

The Wildcats should run away with this one and sadly end Princeton's season, although the Tigers did have a nice season, posting a record of 25-6 and going 12-2 in the Ivy League.

No. 9: Pittsburgh Makes It Past the Elite Eight

NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 10: The Pittsburgh Panthers mascot walks on the court during the game against the Connecticut Huskies during the quarterfinals of the 2011 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament presented by American Eagle Outfitters at Madison Square

The Pittsburgh Panthers were placed in a very tough region with Florida, Wisoncsin and even Butler. They all could be teams to watch closely.

The Panthers will have to go through some quality teams during the first several rounds, and if they advance, they will more than likely have to go through Kansas State or Wisconsin.

Pittsburgh is one of the more talked about teams heading into the tournament as a number one seed, but many have feared that complacency may set in and the team will fall early.

No. 8: Cincinnati Bearcats Headed to the Sweet 16

NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 10: Cashmere Wright #1 of the Cincinnati Bearcats brings the ball up court against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish during the quarterfinals of the 2011 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament presented by American Eagle Outfitters at Mad

Unfortunately for the Bearcats and their fans, the road to the Sweet 16 seems very tough, as they have been placed in a position that will more than likely take them through the Connecticut Huskies in the second round.

Connecticut is the far better team in this situation, and it would be very surprising to see Cincinnati come away with a victory.

No.7: San Diego State

LAS VEGAS, NV - MARCH 12: San Diego State Aztecs mascot Aztec Warrior appears on the court during the championship game of the Conoco Mountain West Conference Basketball tournament against the Brigham Young University Cougars at the Thomas & Mack Center

I will be a little careful with this one, as nobody really knows what to expect out of San Diego State.

However, I will say that the Aztecs will have a battle tested road, as they will be in the way of Penn State, Temple and Connecticut.

This will be a team to watch closely, but I would not have them going all the way into the Final Four.

No. 6: Georgia Will Upset Washington

ATLANTA, GA - MARCH 11: Jeremy Price #50 of the Georgia Bulldogs reacts to a call during the second half of their game against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the quarterfinals of the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament at Georgia Dome on March 11, 2011 in Atlan

The Georgia Bulldogs enter the NCAA tournament as a clear underdog, but should not be forgotten, as the team earned a 10 seed in a tough East bracket.

If Georgia can pull the upset against Washington, they will more than likely run into North Carolina in the second round, a matchup that will ultimately determine their tournament fate.

No. 5: Florida Will Make the Final Four

The Gators have a relatively easy road in the Southeast Bracket and were picked by six of the 14 ESPN analysts to make the Final Four.

The only real test for Florida should be the Pittsburgh Panthers, as they held the majority of the votes by the experts' predictions with seven.

No. 4: Purdue Will Defeat St. Peters

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - MARCH 11: E'Twaun Moore #33 of the Purdue Boilermakers walks off the court dejected after they lost 74-56 against the Michigan State Spartans during the quarterfinals of the 2011 Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament at Conseco Fieldhou

Many people have picked St. Peters to be this year's Cinderella story, but it is hard to see them getting past a Purdue team that is better in seemingly every aspect of the game.

Purdue is averaging nearly 10 points higher per game and also had a tougher schedule that led them into the tournament.

Anyone that has taken St. Peters in the upset may want to adjust their brackets quickly.

No. 3: Texas Will Make the Final Four

KANSAS CITY, MO - MARCH 12: Jordan Hamilton #3 of the Texas Longhorns lays on the court after a play against the Kansas Jayhawks during the 2011 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament championship game at Sprint Center on March 12, 2011 in Kansas

Texas has some very good teams to go up against if they make it deep into the tournament, and even though some experts think they will make the final four, it seems highly unlikely.

Arizona, Michigan, Tennessee and Duke are all in the upper half of the West bracket and will each be fighting for a Final Four appearance.

No. 2: Syracuse Will Make the National Championship

NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 11: Kris Joseph #32 of the Syracuse Orange and Tyler Olander #10 of the Connecticut Huskies go up for a rebound during the semifinals of the 2011 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament presented by American Eagle Outfitters at Madison S

Syracuse is playing in possibly the strongest bracket in the entire tournament, and will be forced to run though a gauntlet of talented teams in order to make it to the final game.

The Orange have struggled at times throughout the season but still managed to achieve a third seed and will face Indiana State to begin their run.

North Carolina and Ohio State will be the favorites heading into the ladder rounds and should more than likely carry the bracket into the Elite Eight.

No. 1: Ohio State Will Win the National Championship

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - MARCH 13: Jon Diebler #33 of the Ohio State Buckeyes looks on against the Penn State Nittany Lions during the championship game of the 2011 Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse on March 13, 2011 in Indianapolis, In

It is hard to go through an entire slideshow about the NCAA tournament without a prediction for the National Championship, but the number one thing that many people may have wrong is the fact that Ohio State will win the title.

Ohio State has had a great season and has played against some of the best teams in the country week in and week out.

Kansas will be the victor from the Southwest side of the bracket and will take down the Buckeyes 72-65.
