    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!

                  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.

                    I'm glad you can rely so heavily on me.

                      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

                        They smashed UK in their first meeting though. When they're clicking, they're probably the most balanced team in the tourney. KenPom has them ranked #1 overall, and lists them as the only team ranked in the top 5 for both offensive and defensive efficiency. Numbers aside, my biggest concern for them would be winning close games. That said, being that it's tourney time, and they have a great, experienced coach, I think they'll be just fine.

                        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.

                              well thought out. i have a really hard time having faith in OSU since they've lost to pretty much every ranked team they've played, so i have them busting to NewMex every bracket. and i 100% agree on the kansas thing, since they lose and/or do poorly in every important game.

                              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
