It's time for our annual Syracusefan.com ESPN Tournament Challenge.

There is no cost to play. No risk, no reward. Just join the "syracusefan.com"group via the "join a group" link below.

The password is "Boeheim". Although if you played last year you should just be able to rejoin the group.

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!
 
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!
 
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)
 
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.
 
Man someone has one loss and it was their national champ
 

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.
