I'm in. oh but I gotta ask is there a last place prize?
I took my original entry and added it to the tgt. I'm in... I think???
Snoop... the battle for last place is on brother!
I have a great track record of finishing in last in these pollsOriginally Posted by jaymo76

Snoop... the battle for last place is on brother!you will have your work cut out for you.
In. Pretty sure last place will be mine. I always throw in a good amount of upsets (like a 2 seed out in round one and Creighton beating Duke) plus I have Kansas St, St Louis, Kansas and Marquette in the Final Four. I have the two Kansas schools making the championship game with the Wildcats, who lost to Kansas three times this year end up the National Champion. In this scenario I would imagine at least five to ten Illinois fans will commit suicide after the game.
I've changed my bracket about 100 times, which is about on par for me. My latest "draft" has Louisville, Indiana, New Mexico and VCU in the Final Four, with Louisville beating Indiana in the title game. At one point I had every single 5 seed and every single 11 seed advancing from Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately, I've only dropped that number to three 5 seeds and three 11 seeds advancing. I just can't bring myself to not pick Bucknell, Belmont or Minnesota. I even still want to pick St. Mary's over Memphis, though going all four 11 seeds feels so wrong.
I've also actually gone mostly chalk this year for most of the rounds. Ignoring the 8/9 and 7/10 "upsets", Bucknell, Belmont, Minnesota and Oregon are my only "true" upsets in the round of 64.
I might get a little crazy before noon however. There was never an email sent out this year about a pool at the office, so apparently we're not doing one this year. So with no longer submitting my ESPN bracket and $5 for a chance at a $75-$100 first place prize, I'm playing for essentially nothing but the TGT group, so I can get a little crazy. And for that reason alone, I very well may pick say to hell with it, and pick St. Mary's over Memphis and roll with all 11 seeds to advance over 6s.
I'm in. I have filled out four or five brackets now on other sites. I don't expect to even come close to winning in any of them. But, as the old saying goes, you can't win if you don't play.
I'm in with another bid for last place... I watched so little college basketball this year so who knows, maybe I picked it perfect
Meh this year has been so.... wild and there aren't ANY very good teams (historically) much less great so anything can happen. That said I did my usual morning of the tourny fill out my bracket. I do several every year depending on the size of the pool is how "crazy" I make my picks. My TGT entry is actually what I think is most likely going to happen and I didn't find too much crazy happening. All of this probably means the #1s all go down in the 1st weekend.I'm in with another bid for last place... I watched so little college basketball this year so who knows, maybe I picked it perfect
My TGT entry matches my "main" bracket, and my first of two $ brackets. I made little tweaks here and there the past couple days. The most major thing I did was last night, I put St. Mary's in the Sweet 16.
My Final Four is Duke / Wisconsin / Kansas / Indiana with Kansas d. Duke.
I have a few double digit seeds making the Sweet 16, but no further (Bucknell, Iowa State, St. Mary's, Minnesota), but after that it gets kinda chalk.
That West region is going to be nuts. Gonzaga has the faith or hardly anyone. And I have no faith in Ohio State

Yeah I went with allot of Chalk this year mostly b/c its basically luck predicting when/where the Chaos could come from.

Elite 8 game with
and
making upset wins.
My coin flip bracket where I pick the first round, and coin flip the rest was interesting. My coin had a Big East bias. Final Four was Louisville, Wisconsin, Georgetown, Syracuse with Louisville beating Georgetown. My "chaos" bracket had a final four of St. Louis, Wisconsin, VCU, Butler with St. Louis defeating VCU.
So basically A-10 and the least respected but always solid Badgers. Yeah that's "chason" and all of them are pretty solid clubs. VCU is the one team I have the most trouble with in the entire field b/c they rely so..... heavily on forcing turnovers. When they lose like they did to
they cannot force them b/c the teams are smart and strong with the ball. When they win they usually force 20+ turnovers.
I like the Rams butis like #1 in the country in not turning the ball over. It will be the irresistible force meats the immovable object matchup. IF they can take down the Wolverines I'd actually favor them against
and have a 50/50 shot at the Final 4 but I don't think they beat the Wolverines.
That Kansas State loss killed my bracket as I had them reaching the final four. Ouch!
Making a run, though it's early so I'm not holding up hope yet!!
Me and Smooth have hit rock bottom.
Same here. Right now, I'm tied for 2nd place. I don't expect it to last though.
I'm in a three way tie for second but I'm still 50 pts behind Snoop. Snoop is totally in the drivers seat at this point.
Meh if memory serves the champion is worth 360 points alone so ifdefeats
in the title game CDJ take it. However, anyone with a
Yeah
