I called some of the "upsets" (VCU, Xavier, etc).
Picking a 9 over an 8 isn't an upset pal, hate to break it to ya.

Last time I checked the team with the higher seed has the higher seed for a reason, even if it's only known to the selection committee. 9 winning over 8 is still an upset, so you're not exactly breaking anything.Picking a 9 over an 8 isn't an upset pal, hate to break it to ya.
How about Winthrop (11) over Notre Dame (6)? Not an upset?
How about VCU (11) over Duke (6)? Not an upset?
How about Michigan State (9) over Marquette (8)? Oh, that's not an upset, I forgot.
Winthrop over ND wasn't an upset >.>
^ruined my bracket
Don't be that guy that bases everything on technicalities. When you talk about the upsets you've picked, bring some better heat then "I had this 9 beating an 8"
And I agree Winthrop was a pretty easy one to pick, so was VCU. I had both.
If VCU/Winthrop were both pretty easy ones to pick, then why didn't more people pick them?
I guess i meant easy in a relative manner - of all the potential upsets to pick, those two really jumped off the page for critics and bracket pickers alike. Unlike, for example TX AM CC beating Wisconsin, which almost happened - no one talked about that
So, for the first year in many, many years, I'm not in an NCAA pool that involves actual money.
So, for the first year in many, many years, I'm in first place, with all eight elite eight teams alive after the first weekend.
Shameless self-promotive bump.
If Ohio State wins tonight, Tythera wins the league.
If Florida wins tonight, I win the league.
Interestingly enough, noboody picked an Ohio State-Florida matchup in the final, although both teams were pretty popular picks to win it.
Despite being in first place, I'm only in the 82.9 percentile, which pretty much means we suck as a league.
