One team that I'm tired of being labeled a "bracketbuster" is Nevada. I think that they have been good enough to the point where they should be a 5 or 6 seed in the tournament. When you talk about a bracketbuster, it should be a team that is just bursting on to the scene that nobody is talking about.
Anyway, my biggest bracketbuster is New Mexico State. If the Aggies keep up the pace, I believe they should be a 9 or 10 seed. Another one to keep an eye out on would be Wright State. I don't think that they're respected enough to get an at-large bid should Butler win the Horizon tournament, but if Wright State can win the tournament and get in as a 14 seed, we may see them in the Sweet 16. I think they're a pretty good team.
BTW, I don't know if anyone else feels this coming on, but I see a 15 seed upsetting a 2 seed this year. Just some eerie, gut feeling.

Davidson
I waited to respond until I actually got a chance to see a team that looks good on paper. I watched Davidson play Chattanooga a few days ago, and they looked strong. They are lead by a freshman by the name of Stephen (Step) Curry. He averages about 19.9 a game. They have a point guard in Jason Richards that gets 14 points a game and dishes out 7.5 assists a game.
They are not a big team, just a couple of starters who are 6-8. The most impressive part of this team was the defense. Chatanooga is not very good this year but that night they could not get into their offense at all. At the half, they had just about 3-4 more points than they had turnovers.
No seniors on Davidson so I might be a year early on this one and Appalachian State is pretty good too (Haven't seen them yet). Who knows maybe Davidson won't even make the field, but I will stick my neck out and say Davidson is a bracket buster this year.

Now that this topic is pretty much all said and done, I still don't know what the correct answer was.
Virginia Commonwealth maybe? Although I thought Duke was overrated and the Rams were underrated.
Really the biggest Bracketbuster this year may have been Marist getting to the second round of the NIT. Not really a good year for the Bracketbusters at all.
