I'm beyond fucked. I've thus far lost one Final Four (New Mexico), two Elite Eight (New Mexico and Georgetown) and five Sweet Sixteen (New Mexico, Georgetown, Bucknell, UNLV and Kansas State).
My regions are beyond ridiculous. The East region was an absolute bloodbath. Indiana and Miami were the ONLY picks I got right in the entire goddamn region. I went 4-4 in the West, getting Gonzaga, Wichita State, Ohio State and Iowa State correct. In the South, I went 5-3, correctly picking Kansas, VCU, Minnesota, Florida and San Diego State. And the Midwest I was nearly perfect, Memphis/St. Mary's my only missed pick in the entire region.
You always pick an 11/6 and 12/5 upset in your brackets. It's now getting the point where you almost have to pick at least one 13, one 14 and one 15 to advance to the round of 32 if you're going to actually try to have a correct bracket. I honestly believe from here on out, we're going to continue seeing at least one 13 and 14 seed team win each year. 15's might not win so often, not the ridiculous 3 wins in the last two years, but they'll still be more likely to happen in the future. And I think we're going to see a 16 seed finally get over the hump and knock off a 1 seed by the end of the decade.
