But I had almost no time to spend on it.  So I'm just cannon fodder for the rest of you really.

It's really hard to pick the upsets. Invariably, some 5-12 seed will get hot, and possibly make the final 4. And then the 1-4 seeds are difficult to know who will advance. I'm going to say two 1 seeds, a 3 seed, and a 5 will be in the final four. Just don't know which ones.

I once won my office pool 2 consecutive years.  Approx. 100 entrants. Pure, dumb luck!

I filled mine out like five minutes after the bracket was revealed on Sunday night. Figured I’d do a little analysis, get back to it and revise it, but never did. So I guess I’m rolling with what I’ve got.

A buddy told me a few years back he stopped getting in his office pool several years back because 95% of the time a female won it and they had zero knowledge of basketball.....The men would do research...look at betting lines...listen to all the bracket gurus....get out their slide rules...compasses, etc...And the women would pick teams based on....This team has the best looking players....O I like this teams uniforms the best so I'll pick them...O they have a cute mascot so I'll pick them...And they would win the damn pot....He said he'd had enough of that crap and decided never again get in with a bunch of females....

I joined and then petered out. I used the autofill option and have not tweaked it at all. It has me choosing LSU to win it all. I would never make that choice but I just don't have the motivation to repair it.

LSU? oh man.

Maybe I'm not as bad off as I thought.   

I did do a pretty thorough job on the first and most of the second round, it was the later rounds I rushed through. I also wanted to go back and review all my first and second round picks with different criteria.

But it is what it is.  Should be fun to watch, as always.

Speaking of which, there is a place in Huntsville called Touchdown Wings.  Best damn lemon pepper wings in the universe!  Since the Vols play in about 30 minutes, I believe I will make a run there now.

I was feeling good, but one of my FF is already out and the only games I got right so far are Baylor and UT.

This might be my worst bracket ever.

Is there a prize for last place?
