On the record...I don't even know what you are referring to.
Off the record...I didn't make one but if I would have it would be messed up.

I fill mine out as the tournament goes. It usually looks good.

I bet if you just did a "pick all the favorites except for those in the Big East where the seeds are less than 10 apart" you would be sitting pretty good right now.

Phaedrus & younggun, I know it's not as fun as our bracket in the Fall, but here's an approach that should 'spruce things up' a bit...fill out the bracket like they're WVB teams! If there are teams who don't sponsor the sport (like ODU, Boston U, Vandy or Richmond), then you can't pick them and the other team advances (or no one does, such was the case when Richmond & Vandy played in the first round). If you look at the bracket this way, it's much more enjoyable!

I have competed with my daughter for I don't know how many years ... it is our family tradition to fill out the brackets as soon as the women's draw is announced. I am always amazed that I do so well with the Men's bracket. Because I follow women's basketball, but not men's. And I do find myself having to think, no, you are thinking of volleyball. This is basketball.
She picked Louisville for the Final Four, ha ha. She's toast. I picked Butler and Wisconsin to win this far. So, I'm doing pretty good. Looking forward to 2 Purdue games on TV today!

I prefer a draft rather than filling out the bracket, here's how you do it:
You get 8 people together, and draw cards to see what the draft order will be. Then you snake draft all 64 teams (1-8, 8-1, 1-8, etc.). Every time a team wins the person who has them gets a point. The person who ends up with the most points wins the majority of the pot and the person who had the National Champion wins the minority of the pot. If you play for a lot of money you can also pay out the people with the 2nd and 3rd highest amount of points which makes it more competitive as time goes on.

SC, it is definitely not as fun as what we are able to accomplish in the fall. I like the approach to just pick them like they are volleyball programs and it couldn't hurt cause I don't know what I am doing anyway!

Thought BYU might pull it out, but Jimmer tried to do too much. Not all that impressed with Florida.
Arizona impressed me last night - A LOT.

My only Final Four pick left is Ohio State, I'm currently ranked # 4,388,025 on ESPN's Tournament Challege (25.9 percentile).  Go Wildcats! Make the Pac- 10 12 proud! |
