Whoa, Darth, Texas A%M Corpus Christi over Wisconsin? Took some onions to pick that one! Aside from that, your bracket looks kind of boring.

I know I'm probably going to finish last anyway, but there are always some weird teams making it at least to the Sweet Sixteen, and if you can guess those right, you're in good shape. I have a UNLV-Winthrop showdown in the third round. Not because I particularly know anything about those teams, but just because I figured I needed at least one bizarro double-upset Sweet Sixteen matchup.

Of course, getting the Final Four as accurate as possible is really the key to winning with this scoring system.

Re: MARCH MADNESS BRACKETS... Join Now!

OMG, Warthog's bracket is insane! Stanford vs. Creighton and Oral Roberts vs. Texas Tech in the Sweet 16? Kentucky, Tennessee, and Butler in the Final Four?! Dude, my Wildcats blow. I picked them to lose in the first round.

Credit for picking an off-the-charts wacky bracket, though! At least now I know that I won't finish last.

i'm here to defend my title from last year, when I had to battle a large and competitive field of entries to produce the winning bracket.

Re: MARCH MADNESS BRACKETS... Join Now!

Whoa, Butler over Florida, prof? Hmm. Actually, back in 2000, I had Butler upsetting Florida in the first round (it was a 12 vs. 5 game). Florida won it at the buzzer, on a crazy shot by Mike Miller, so I was right to have suspected that one as a possible upset, even though it fell just short of happening. BUT, Florida went on to make the national title game! Much to the chagrin of my bracket...

prof, it looks like you're hanging your hat on Louisville getting to the Final Four and Florida getting upset in the third round. If those two things happen, you'll probably have a good shot at winning it all again.

I had Oregon beating Memphis in the final, but only because I wanted Oregon to win. I changed it to North Carolina losing to UCLA. If Oregon wins somehow, I'm gonna kick myself.

I had a really tough time deciding between the BYU/Xavier matchup in the first round. I eventually stuck with BYU though.

Re: MARCH MADNESS BRACKETS... Join Now!

One of my first round upset specials is getting blown out in Stanford. Louisville up by as many 29 pts in the first half....Who was I listening to on that one??

The davison-Maryland game is closer than expected. How many people have Davison prevailing in that one?

Re: MARCH MADNESS BRACKETS... Join Now!

Anyone who picked Stanford was stupid (staring at Roscoe ). They were the one of the teams that nobody thought should have been in the tourney in the first place. Another one is Arkansas, but Roscoe picked them through to the Sweet 16! Of course, I'll be the one looking dumb if they make it, but I think I'm pretty safe on that front.

NCAA hoops is not something I follow in the least. I'm merely participating to show support for my friend Tater's initiative.

Re: MARCH MADNESS BRACKETS... Join Now!

webz' bracket is suspicious too: almost no upsets anywhere. But I'm sure you guys would stomp us in an annual Cricket Craziness Challenge.

It was one I pondered over..I guess I was impressed with the Lopez twins


At least Dell Curry's son a Davison freshman showed that his father genes are working..scoring 30pts... but alas just like his old man, his game was all about the long ball.

And the good thing is we don't have to see or hear Bobby Knight for the rest of the tourney since TT was eliminated.
