Men's NCAA Championships Predictions

Yesterday, the Cal women's team won the NCAA Championship in Austin. Not only did I predict that, but I successfully predicted the top three teams in the correct order. Of the thirteen individual events I predicted on this blog, I got nine of them right. (Note: this does not mean what I put on Podium Pursuit...) After a fairly successful hit-out last week, I am pretty confident about my men's predictions. Here goes:
