So, how is your bracket doing?




































Well, that is my bracket up above, and that is a lot of red.  You would think that is just a disaster of a bracket, yet somehow I'm in the top 20% of all brackets on ESPN.com.  I guess that's what happens in a year in which only 2 of 5.9 million people picked the Final Four right in the ESPN Bracket Challenge.  I'm also assuming the two people who made those picks don't really know much about college basketball and have some affiliation with VCU.  Why else would they pick them to go to the Final Four?

So now your bracket is fucked this year, and there is a boring VCU vs. Butler national semi-final.  But on the bright side, next year's NCAA tourney pools are going to be ripe for the picking.  Everybody is going to be sending crazy teams to the Final Four because it happened this year, and they are going to be screwing their brackets before the games start.  Remember that this is abnormal, and there is a reason teams get 11 and 8 seeds.  So next year, just forget about this year and stick with your normal draft strategy and cash some checks.
