KB's Regional Analysis

East Region

There's a reason Brandy-Old Fashioned is the #1 Overall Seed. They have yet to be challenged and expect that to continue as reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers doesn't have the supporting cast to beat this blue blood power house. Game 2 pits Summerfest against Tailgating and there could be an upset brewing as the multi-dimensional Tailgating offense could be too much for Summerfest to handle.

  • Regional Final Brandy Old Fashioned vs. Tailgating
  • My Final Four Pick: Brandy Old Fashioned

South Region

Bob Uecker should dispose of Bratwurst handily. The Brat is a one dimensional team and Bob Uecker is...well... Bob Uecker. The tight game will come in the lower part of the bracket where #2 Supper Clubs will face a very tough MillerCoors squad whose deep bench is a difference maker, but not this time.

  • Regional Final Bob Uecker vs. Supper Clubs
  • My Final Four Pick: Bob Uecker

Midwest Region

The Midwest Region is chalk and it's going to stay that way heading into the Elite Eight. Harley should have no problem with State Fair and Cheese Curds will roll over Wisconsin Dells setting up a Harley/Cheese Curds 1 vs 2 Final.

  • Regional Final Harley-Davidson vs Cheese Curds
  • My Final Four Pick Cheese Curds

West Region

Newcomer Kwik-Trip will be a force for. years to come, but right now they don't have the firepower to take down #1 seeded Lambeau Field. The same holds true in the bottom half of the bracket. Miller Park's name change will work against them and Fish Fry will move on to the regional final without worry.

  • Regional Final Lambeau Field vs. Fish Fry
  • My Final Four Pick: Fish Fry

This is shaping up to be one of the most exciting second weekends in tournament history. Unfortunately, attendance at the Final Four in Omro will be limited to school officials and family. But if you're lucky enough to be in Omro Fieldhouse and my predictions come true, you'll be talking about this Brandy Old-Fashioned, Bob Uecker, Cheese Curds, Fish Fry Final Four for years to come.
