I actually think that Kentucky is going to win, but I hate having all #1 seeds in my final four, and I have connections to 'Cuse and MSU, so my bracket is admittedly a fantasy bracket.

Why not fill out two brackets? ESPN lets you fill out as many as you want for for-fun groups, the only place you're limited to one bracket is the ones where there is a cash payout for having the best bracket.

UK, Syracuse, Mizzou, Georgetown.

Loved Detroit as a sleeper to win a game or two but then they got the 15 against KU. don't like their chances, but wouldn't be surprised if they gave KU a helluva game.

How do most pools deal w/ the "First Four" games? When there was just one play in game we either ignored it or counted it as an additional first round game (worth 1 pt.). I didn't fill out a bracket last year.

"We're gonna fight, fight, fight

for F-S-U

We're gonna scalp 'em Seminoles

We're gonna win, win, win

win the game

and roll on down for more goals

'Cause FSU is on the warpath now

and at the battle end She's great

So fight, fight, fight

for victory

the Seminoles of Florida Stay aaaaa-ate

F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E

Florida State! Florida State! Florida State!

Whooooooooooooo!"

Ok so not the most politically correct fight song but by the end of the tourney - it will be more right than wrong. Mark my words.

Final Four: Kentucky, Mizzou (wins it all), UNC, Wisco.

I entered some crappy picks to make the rest of you look good.

Hey wejo, please throw this on the frontpage. I'm pretty sure that is what got it so big last year.

I was just checking the internet.

Yahoo's pool gives out $5 million for a perfect bonus. Plus the top picker gets $10k.

This thread also talks about a pool:

ESPN has $10,000 to a random person in the top 1% and no $5 million bonus. I saw we do Yahoo as the official one but if you disagree post here:

ESPN seems substantially more user-friendly, and I don't think the chances of any of us winning money are high enough to merit choosing Yahoo on that basis alone.

Link is to the ESPN page if anyone is interested.

Fab Melo declared ineligible, looks like some of us will have to redo our brackets...
