1/23/12 – First Bracket of the Year
I started this a little later than normal, but I cannot wait until the NCAA Tournament. The interesting things in my bracket are that Creighton and Murray State might earn high seeds, while teams like Indiana and Seton Hall get high seeds after not making the tournament for a while.

Final Thoughts on Bracket and Upset Picks
Well, the bracket is in and although I would like to blame my pretty poor performance on the fact that I was out of the continent, I don’t think it made ALL too much of a difference. I ended up getting a Paymon score of 307, and I honestly don’t think I could have even gotten to 315 had I been here. This just wasn’t my year but I will be back and trying hard next year in order to pass up HTTV who has now taken the lead from me. Overall though, the only big mistakes I thought were made were that Colorado should have been in over VCU and a couple of terrible seeds like Butler getting an 8, Michigan getting an 8, and Penn State getting a 10. Oh and Florida getting a 2, although some people were okay with that, that made me mad. Oh well, hopefully my picks do well!
Big Upset Picks: St. Peters over Purdue in Round 1, Michigan State to the Sweet 16, Only One Two Seed in The Sweet 16, Georgetown and Saint Johns to the Elite 8, and All Four Number One Seeds In The Final Four!

Buckeyes Final Bracket!
Okay Guys, So I know this is WAYYYYY too early for a final bracket but I’m going to be on an extremely long plain ride and won’t have an option. Luckily only one game tomorrow changes the scenario so here is what I’m going to do. This is the bracket assuming Richmond beats Dayton, if Dayton wins, put them in as a 12 seed and push Georgia out. I hope the matrix will allow for this one scenario since it is the only thing I can do. I have enjoyed presenting these for you guys and I can’t wait for next year!
