FFR Pick'Em: March Madness Edition
Since T-Force's version of this even tends to go over well enough, I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon.
It's like bracket challenges, but easier. Round by round is gonna be a pain to keep up, so we're going to do this the classic way. The rules are simple: You pick who you think is going to win each of the 67 games to be played, and at the end, whoever has the most correct picks is the winner! Here's the bracket if you need help knowing who's playing whom: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebask...s/viewable_men As for listing your picks...it's easy! Simply bold who you think is going to win each game. Picks for all games after the first round must use your picks from previous rounds, and NO EDITS. As for credits, I have about 250K in my pocket, so I'll kick this off with 100K. As always, donations are encouraged. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: My picks! First Four: North Carolina A&T vs. Liberty Boise State vs. La Salle Middle Tennessee vs. St. Mary's LIU-Brooklyn vs. James Madison Second Round: Midwest: 1 Louisville vs. 16 NC A&T 8 Colorado vs. 9 Missouri 5 Oklahoma State vs. 12 Oregon 4 Saint Louis vs. 13 New Mexico State 6 Memphis vs. 11 Middle Tennessee 3 Michigan State vs. 14 Valparaiso 7 Creighton vs. 10 Cincinnati 2 Duke vs. 15 Albany West: 1 Gonzaga vs. 16 Southern 8 Pittsburgh vs. 9 Wichita State 5 Wisconsin vs. 12 Ole Miss 4 Kansas State vs. 13 La Salle 6 Arizona vs. 11 Belmont 3 New Mexico vs. 14 Harvard 7 Notre Dame vs. 10 Iowa State 2 Ohio State vs. 15 Iona South: 1 Kansas vs. 16 Western Kentucky 8 North Carolina vs. 9 Villanova 5 VCU vs. 12 Akron 4 Michigan vs. 13 South Dakota State 6 UCLA vs 11 Minnesota 3 Florida vs. 14 Northwestern State 7 San Diego State vs. 10 Oklahoma 2 Georgetown vs. 15 FGCU East: 1 Indiana vs. 16 James Madison 8 NC State vs. 9 Temple 5 UNLV vs. 12 California 4 Syracuse vs. 13 Montana 6 Butler vs. 11 Bucknell 3 Marquette vs. 14 Davidson 7 Illinois vs. 10 Colorado 2 Miami (Fla) vs. 15 Pacific Third Round: Louisville vs. Missouri Oregon vs. New Mexico St. Middle Tenn vs. MSU Creighton vs. Duke Gonzaga vs. Pitt Wisconsin vs. KSU Belmont vs. New Mexico Notre Dame vs. Ohio State Kansas vs. UNC VCU vs. Michigan Minnesota vs. Florida Oklahoma vs. FGCU Indiana vs. NC State Cal vs. Syracuse Butler vs. Marquette Illinois vs. Miami Sweet Sixteen: Louisville vs. New Mexico St. MSU vs. Duke Gonzaga vs. Wisconsin New Mexico vs. Ohio State Kansas vs. Michigan Florida vs. Oklahoma NC State vs. Cal Butler vs. Miami Elite Eight: Louisville vs. Duke Wisconsin vs. Ohio State Kansas vs. Florida NC State vs. Butler Final Four: Duke vs. Ohio State Kansas vs. Butler NATIONAL TITLE GAME: DUKE VS.

Re: FFR Pick'Em: March Madness Edition
I'm really relying on UF in most of my brackets so far. On ESPN, eight of my brackets have them in the Final Four, and four of those have them winning it all lol.

Re: FFR Pick'Em: March Madness Edition
that will lose you a lot of bets, if UF can lose to my team (UK) so miserably, this of all years, they have no chance against a zaga/UL/New Mexico/MichState team

I know it's a gamble, but I'm alright with that. No one's really picking them, and if they perform as well as I hope they do (which they really can), the advantage will swing my way. I don't buy Kansas either, which really makes it easy for me to have UF going deep. I've done a lot more reading/research and have tweaked all my brackets since I posted that (and made my FFR bracket lol oh well). I've got Ohio State as consistently in the Final Four as I do UF, followed by Indiana, and Louisville/Duke. I've got two brackets that are more flexible, but those are the teams I'm most confident in.

really, this years march madness is going to be who can muster up the confidence and get on a roll early on -- no team is by and large the best team, and even the number one seeds are pretty contentious sans zaga, but they haven't played any really strong teams.. teams i expect to impress: Miami, Michigan State, Georgetown

One hour to go before the tip! Get those picks in!
(wow DayMan, I have 3/4 of your regional champs...I got a feeling we're gonna be joined at the hip) |

Re: FFR Pick'Em: March Madness Edition
So we have our first result! Liberty misses a go-ahead jumper with 2.1 seconds to go, letting North Carolina A&T hold on for a 73-72 victory!
(in NIT news, Kentucky fell to Robert Morris 59-57, hehu) Edit: Ergh. St. Mary's 67-54 stomping Middle Tenn into the ground, maybe sending a message to Memphis in the process? We'll see.
