Sweet 16 predictions: Experts pick who will advance in March Madness bracket

How's your bracket looking?

Probably not so bad if you picked all the favorites.

But there were a few surprises in the Men's NCAA Tournament first two rounds, the biggest being No. 9 Iowa taking down defending champion Florida.

That result means we won't get a second straight Final Four with all No. 1 seeds. So who will reach Indianapolis? First things first, who will in this week's Sweet 16?
