I usually only do one bracket, but I decided to come up with 4 "random" brackets (#2-#5), running through the games using a random # generator and win probabilities based on KP to come up with something a bit different than the masses.

The 4 random final fours were a bit all over the place:
- Auburn, Missouri, BYU, Houston (BYU Champ)
- Texas A&M, St John's, Duke, Tennessee (Duke Champ)
- All Four #1 Seeds (Florida Champ)
- Auburn, Florida, Arizona, Clemson (Florida Champ)

Almost forgot to put my awful picks in this contest!

I’m done… rip up my brackets .

 

[Shenexon]

My instincts are just “stinks”. I chose poorly…

 

[JeffCuse]

7-0 incoming lets gooo

One of my "win probability / random number generator to choose winner" brackets is still perfect.
Of course it also has BYU as the National Champ!

 

[jncuse]

Now down to 2.1% perfect brackets on ESPN (this is based having 7 out of 8 in ESPN being in the 97.9 percentile)

 

[Brooky03]

I didn’t join the ESPN pool, but I made one bracket this year through Capital One.

It’s perfect right now but won’t be once the Yale game goes final. I think this is the best start I’ve ever had.

 

[JeffCuse]

Man someone has one loss and it was their national champ

 

[jncuse]

5,572 perfect brackets remaining.
Amazingly 21 of those remaining 5,572 have Mount St Mary's beating Duke.

All my coin flips came up snake eyes!

I did well on mine yesterday. Can't catch a break today, other than the New Mexico win.

 

[jncuse]

18 perfect brackets remain. It will be down to either 7 or 11 after the A&M/Michigan game.

It was 3 before yesterday's games. I was following it a bit.
It went down to 2 because some schlub picked UConn over Florida.
Then 1 of the 2 final brackets actually had Baylor beating Duke, bringing it down to 1.

Not sure which of the 6 games after that took out the final person.

 

[cuseattle]

Duke wins the final beating Florida - rrlbees wins.
Duke beats Auburn - rjm2006 ties rrlbees.

Houston wins the final beating Florida - Donnie Syracuse
Houston beats Auburn - cuseattle

Auburn wins beating Duke - BrookhavenCuse4
Auburn beats Houston - SoCalCuseFan

Florida wins beating Duke - Orangemans98 3 wins
Florida beats Houston - Cuse99&01

(I think that's right, used to grade my work pool by hand in the olden days)

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Cuse99&01 gets a shining moment !!

 

[Cuse99&01]

Cuse99&01 gets a shining moment !!

Much easier for me to pick when Cuse isn’t in the tourney.
