We asked Post readers for the teams they just can’t root for, and they (you) sent in more than 200 comments. After tallying the recommendations, we arrived at an eight-team field. Check out the bracket (and let your blood begin to boil) below. Also, take a look at the eight contenders and read why they made the cut.

Friday’s matchup is between No. 1 Duke and No. 4 Michigan. Check out the breakdown and vote for your (least) favorite.

DUKE

How they got here: The Blue Devils rumbled over this tournament’s lone mid-major (and surprise entrant), South Dakota State, winning 80 percent of the vote.

Credentials: Just like on the basketball court, Duke is a powerhouse in the bracket of hate and a big threat to win it all. You already know the reasons people can’t root for the Blue Devils. Coach K with the officials in his pocket. The Cameron Crazies, being Cameron crazy. Cherokee Parks’ hair. Christian. Laettner.

Commenter MeltdownMan’s anti-Duke rant: “Rhymes with Puke.”

MICHIGAN

How they got here: Michigan was actually almost as dominant as Duke, in a much tougher matchup against No. 5 Syracuse. The Wolverines commanded 77 percent of the hate in the first round.

Credentials: Michigan fans really like their sports teams. They even had a good basketball team worthy of admiration, back when they pioneered the act of wearing knee-length shorts. This season the Wolverines won a share of the Big Ten title ... only to get knocked out by Ohio in the round of 64.

Commenter sfuern’s anti-Michigan rant: “The most consistently overrated team in the Big Ten.”
