I am a Buckeye!!!!! I feel like we deserve an automatic bid every where to the big dance and an automatic bid to the BCS every year just based upon our history. lol

What.. your history of finishing second means you should get in every year? Alright SEC mouthbreather....

Nike has a good commercial... it ends with "there is no such thing as Cinderella" or something to that effect...

I only have USC and Kentucky getting to the Sweet 16 as 8's or under. And neither is really an underdog. Jorge Mason would run into UNC if they make it.. but hey.. they beat UConn two years ago. I'm rooting for the Bruins to win it all.. I bought them in my Calcutta along with a could others, but they are my big dog.

My Final 4...

UNC
Xavier
Georgetown
Memphis

And those are strictly guesses so take that for what it's worth.

Guessing is as good a strategy as any.

I typically pick the teams on how pretty their outfiits are.

Just...like...Fleek.

I just about spit chili out of mouth on that one!

My guess...

UNC
G'Town
Pittsburgh
UCLA

I win lots of money if Pitt and UCLA make it that far...

You mean some of you have made your picks before the bracket is completely done? We still have the Coppin State/Mount Saint Mary's game? What's not to love about having a game with teams that have "Coppin" and "Mount" in their title?

I'm not revealing my final four yet. I don't want anyone to copy me and be out after 2 rounds like I usually am.

The best team chant of the tournament has to go to the fans of Austin Peay - "Let's go Peay!"

I'm thinkin' Kansas is going to win it all.

Who put in a bracket and didn't fill it out?

(I'm lost. ishamr09)

I'm going to cut you.

LTRT, you didn't really pick the highest seed for every game did you? That breaks the golden rule of brackets!

I got caught playing with the options and couldn't figure how to edit.

Got lucky this afternoon didn't I? I sense IU losing so that'll take me out from perfection.

Hee hee, I can understand that. I filled a bracket on Foxsports and they actually had an option to pick all the lowest seeds. I figured they put that out there for a joke?

I was SHOCKED that USC got beat ... I think I had them in the Sweet 16. CRAP

No kiddin', boy did Duke get lucky. I was waiting to post Bracket Buster Bellmont.

I think Kansas State has been highly underrated, but then again, I'm a Big 12 fan.

Saw your Aggie's held on to win ...

So the shit eating has begun. I should be in last place by the end of today...

Yep, thanks for noticing. It made me happy. Esp. since the ESPN commentators were all picking them to lose!

Now they "get" to face UCLA. Should be tough. But I do predict they will score more than the 29 put up by MVSU.

Has anyone checked out the "expert" picks on Yahoo Sports? Dan Wetzel had USC in the Final Four. Whoops!

I was glad to see the Big Ten go 3 - 0 with IU still to play in the 1st round. Everyone is trashing the conference right now and yet there are always 1 or 2 teams going deep in the tournament. So many writers were picking Temple to beat Michigan State, who then promptly thumped them.

I'm horrible at picking these things.. I also had USC in the final four.. mostly because I want either of those teams to make it there, I just figured USC would win. So, I'm now a K-State fan... which is appropriate, my High School (Homestead) uses their fight song, so it fits.

I'm still riding the UCLA and Pitt bandwagon.. I'll flinstone it if I have to!

Don't feel bad Card, you picked Siena! , at least I think that's your bracket
