The two bracketologists vary big on a few teams, beginning with Ohio State and Michigan State. Palm has MSU as a No. 11 seed and OSU as a No. 12. Lunardi has the Spartans as a No. 8 and the Buckeyes as a No. 9. I tend to lean more toward Lunardi.

Palm has Iowa as a No. 11; Lunardi has the Hawkeyes as a No. 9. Again, I go with Lunardi here.

More differences: Palm has Indiana as a No. 5; Lunardi has the Hoosiers as a No. 7. I think Lunardi is correct.
