As in the past, you get one real and one "for fun"/throwaway/upset special bracket. Winner gets a virtual roast or fried turkey.


Virtual homemade mashed potatoes to whoever gets this year's name reference.

I decided not to enter any brackets this year after that upset last year.

Can't believe my for fun pick is 4 points ahead of my real pick.

If I knew about this sooner I would've put my bracket in.

Just looked at this for the first time since I submitted my bracket, and was somewhat surprised that I'm currently leading this thing.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, come inside, come inside.

ELP was my favorite prog-rock band back in the day.

The first time I heard that lyric ("Welcome back, my friends...." ), I thought it was Roger Daltrey singing.

Somewhat surprised to see myself leading the pack again. I will root for either team in the National Championship Game despite having bet on Virginia winning the whole thing.

I think that you have already have the most points, and since no one picked Texas Tech, that makes you the winner. If UVA wins then I will be second

I guess so. Wonder what would happen if the opposite happened (Texas Tech winning)...probably wouldn't change things much, if at all, since (as you just pointed out) no one expected Texas Tech to make it this far.

EDIT: You can guess which team won it all this year :D

People's second brackets beat my first bracket. They were supposed to be throwaways, people!

And I got 3rd place in my ESPN bracket contest with 790 points in my bracket. What gives?
