My sister and I always spend, HOURS, literally, doing research to complete our bracket.....and we probably could do about as well if we just closed our eyes and pointed to a spot on the bracket....over and over.  How does anyone ever pick the 3-4 Cinderella teams which we have every year.  I guess if you watched every game possible during the year and did research and kept a stat book....you probably could do better.  But I don't...I hardly ever watch the late west coast games.

I'm normally terrible in the first round because I hate picking upsets, but do a pretty good job in the latter rounds. Finished in the top %1 twice in the last 5 years. Never got the whole filling out multiple brackets thing, anyone can do well if they have 10 brackets.

Yeah but who in the world has time for that.  This year I've been so busy with family that I barely found time to fill out one.

There are already a couple guys in the group who have 5+ brackets. Guess they spend the same amount of tilling filling out multiple brackets that you and your sister put into making one really good one. My strategy is if I see a game that could trip up a team that they are still more likely to win, like UK in the 2nd round, I just make sure i don't have them going very far. The strategy normally does pretty well. I only have two 1 seeds in the elite 8.

I only fill out multiple brackets when I'm doing fun brackets like mascot battles, but I don't submit those to groups.

I have several friends (bracketeers) who always choose a more junior-senior laden team....of course, if most other comparisions are close to being equal.  Think Iowa State.

Well, UNC-Wilmington hurt me. I had them in the Sweet 16. Got the rest so far though.

Okay, you are right, I should have done that first instead of going off of what other people said was said.
So basically all my complaining was for nothing and I'm a dumbass.  I should have just watch the presser BEFORE commenting.

In the first 8, I got 7 right. I would have been perfect had UNC-Wilmington not blown a double digit lead.

Damn Maryland,  I may go 1-7 tonight

Both teams I've missed so far (Maryland and UNC-Williamson) I had advancing to the Sweet 16

Only one perfect bracket remains in the hogville pool.

Well it sure ain't mine.  I went 12-4 yesterday.  Got caught up in the old "12 over 5 upset" thing.  Only lost one Sweet 16 team though, so I've got that going for me, which is nice..

Ok, I'm an idiot today. I'm trying to see the current leader board to see where I am and how the cream of the crop is doing and I am having the hardest time getting there.

Could I trouble someone to post it? It is not agreeing with my phone.

Hopefully that'll work. A lot of people in our bracket are doing pretty well. 10% are in the top 1.4%.

Hootiethehog

Yuck. I'm in a tie for 75th, I went 25 for 32 yesterday.  And SMU is going to kill me on down the line.
