Seth Greenberg's Final Four picks for the 2026 March Madness bracket are the most interesting we've seen.
Greenberg, the former college basketball head coach turned ESPN analyst, predicted a Michigan State vs. Michigan basketball national championship game to finish the 2026 NCAA Tournament.
MSU is a 3-seed in the East Region, while U-M is a 1-seed in the Midwest Region.
Greenberg's winner: Michigan over MSU.
"I'm really interested to see the postgame handshake," Greenberg said to bursts of laughter from his colleagues Jay Bilas, Jay Williams and Rece Davis.

Bilas also had MSU making the Final Four and advancing to the national championship game by defeating 1-seed Duke in the Elite Eight and 1-seed Florida in the Final Four. But he had MSU losing to Arizona in the title game.
Bilas and Williams both had U-M losing in the Elite Eight to 2-seed Iowa State.
Davis had U-M losing to Arizona in the Final Four.
Michigan and MSU were one game away from playing in the 2025 Elite Eight, but Michigan lost to Auburn in the Sweet 16. MSU then lost to Auburn in the Elite Eight.
