As of this moment, I have Florida beating Ohio St in the final...
Speaking of the bracket, am I the only one who is disappointed the Committee didn't have a sense of humor and pit #10 Texas Tech vs #7 Indiana?

As it stands, I have Tech beating BC and then going down to G Town. I'd probably have them beating Indiana if they played them in round 1.

Yeah, they really missed a great opportunity there. It wouldn't have been a sense of humor, it would have been a huge money maker. How could Kelvin Sanctions beat Knight on a neutral court without the possibility of cheating?

This happens all the time. I usually do good with the first batch of games, sometimes the whole first day and then have a meltdown on the second day.

Doing pretty good so far.. Un fortunately, Oral Roberts couldn't edge out Wazzou St. (that's what I get for listening to Vitale), and damn GW was nowhere in the building against Vanderbilt. Oh well, still tied for first! Let the games continue!

Lol, I hate seeing my 1/4 filled out bracket being judged with the rest of yours! It was going to be "so money" I still cant believe yahoo cut me off.
In my ESPN (actually completed bracket)I am 259059 out of several million and winning amongst friends. Not too shabby.

As much as I'd like to be happy about me leading after the first two rounds, I realize that it's pointless considering I loss one of the teams I had in the Championship game. Then again, it's good to see pnwbeers (who's in second) picked with his heart.
