Just when it seems like everybody's picking Kentucky to win it all, former Ohio State center Corey Linsley rolls B1G in his 2015 NCAA tournament bracket.

In part of Cleveland.com's "Celebrity Bracketology Challenge," Linsley picked Wisconsin to win it all, with Kentucky, Duke and Louisville as the other Final Four contenders in a largely chalk-filled bracket. 

"(Frank) Kaminsky is really good. I think if any team has a chance (to beat Kentucky), it's Wisconsin," Linsely said.

"That depth is gonna be tough to beat, but Wisconsin has a chance."

It's noteworthy that Linsley now plays professionally in the state of Wisconsin with the Green Bay Packers, so picking the Badgers might just be good public relations. Or he might just be sticking to some conference loyalty. Either way, it's refreshing not to see Kentucky on top of someone's bracket.

He has Ohio State losing to Arizona in the round of 32. Arizona is really good, so sometimes loyalty is trumped by common sense, I guess.

As for underdogs, Linsley has Dayton, Harvard and UCLA making it to the Sweet 16. He will be going up against other celebrity pickers such as Terry Francona from the Cleveland Indians and Mike Miller from the Cavs. 

What do you think of his picks?
