Unlikely Final Four

I want to see a bracket (any bracket) that had these teams in the Final 4:

#5 Michigan St. vs. #5 Butler

#2 West Virginia vs. #1 Duke

The only one of these that I got right was Duke. I had Kansas, Kansas St., and Kentucky rounding out the brackets.

I can imagine that the powers that be probably would like Michigan St. vs Duke in the finals. Both teams have large followings with a good history behind them. I personally would like to see Butler vs. West Virginia with Butler winning the whole thing.

Butler is in the Horizon League and the last time that a non-BCS conference won the National Championship was in 1990 when UNLV won (they were in the Big West then and are part of the Mountain West now). Prior to that, you would have to go back to Louisville winning it in 1980 (Louisville was in the Metro Conference then).

Butler does have one advantage that the other schools do not. Butler is actually located in Indianapolis, where the championship games will be played. At the very least, they will enjoy a sizable home court advantage.
