Curious who might be interested in filling out a bracket once the college basketball tournament starts?
No wagers, but the winner receives bragging rights on the forum. :-D
I wanted to ask early to see who might be interested, and which site I can use to host the pool. I'm thinking either Yahoo or CBS Sports. I've used the latter to run workplace pools and they're easy to set up and track.
Any takers?
I'm down.
Chris
I'd join.
I'd probably make one, just for giggles.
Doesn't Alps usually do one every year?
Oh cool, glad to see some interest.
If someone here already runs one, I'll gladly let him. Otherwise I'll look into setting one up.
I don't do it every year, but I've done it before. I cede to you to get us started.

Okay, will do.
Thinking I'll host it on CBS Sports. I'll post here again on Sunday when the selections are made with the info.

Well, you've got to at least close the brackets...
Yes please.
I'm up for it!
Yes. And I may do a mock-up bracket as well like I did in 2016-18. I remember 2018, which was the only time ever a number 16 seed defeated a number 1 and busting most of the brackets.
Deal me in. Basketball isn't one of my favorite sports but this year I've made sure to watch more college basketball, as I'm intent on building a bracket dynasty within my family. Might as well expand my reign to AARoads as well, right?
I'm game, especially since it looks like UConn will be back in this year.
Here's the details on the group I set up.
I used ESPN. You'll need to create a free account. I'm using the app, but I imagine the site is similar. Here's the details.
- When you choose to create a bracket, you have an option to join a group.
- The group is AARoads Forum and the password is interstate366 (lower case)
- For the name of your bracket, please use your forum name so we know who is who.
- I'll post results after each round.
Good luck, everyone!!

Kernals12 vs Roadgeekteen would be a classic. And unlike the rest of you, I respect that fact that I haven't been on the forum long enough to be in this tournament :-D
I just want to know what I did wrong with my life where I get seeded against Alex of all people...
I dodged a bullet with that one.
I don't think I deserve to be in there. My knowledge of roads and other roadgeekdom compared to the others on the forum would probably only take me to the NIT at most. :-D

This is fake news. You grouped posters in some semblance of geographical order. If this was a real bracket, posters would be scattered all over the place. And I would have been put in the West because the NCAA hates Calipari.
My alma mater will be playing this year. Morehead State beat Belmont in the OVC Tournament finals. While this is great for my school, it's not so great for the OVC's chances at an upset. Belmont was a legit Top 25 team this year and was unbeaten in the league until the last two games of the regular season (losses on the "Death Valley" road trip to Eastern Kentucky and Morehead). MSU had a good year, but they'll get a 15 seed in the tournament unless several conference tournaments get won by teams with losing records. The OVC probably would have been better served by sending their regular season champion to the NCAA. They had that option this year. Belmont may end up getting an at-large bid, though.
I, uh...don't even know what a tasteful comment would be on my matchup.
Somehow I feel honored that I didn't make the cut.
All the other West games will be forfeited because everyone will be watching Flint1979 vs. FritzOwl.

I'm going with a different strategy in a much different tournament compared to past editions. I'm picking heavily against less strong conferences (i.e. 1-3 tournament bids) because the decreased number of OOC games means that those teams might not be ready to play other quality teams. I expect the Big Ten and Big 12 in particular to roll because teams in those conferences have been playing a gauntlet schedule all year, and might be pleasantly surprised by the lowered level of their competition through the first couple rounds. The reason why I'm sharing my strategy is because it sounds good on paper but I am not confident that it will actually work.
I haven't watched a single game all year but I'll play.

There was legitimate fear this year that the state of Kentucky might not be represented in the tournament (https://www.kentucky.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/mark-story/article249371875.html) but my Morehead State Eagles put an end to that fear.

I'm pretty sure Kentucky's best public university will join Morehead State, even if they lose in the first round of the ACC tournament.
I named my bracket "Mm" because I didn't think that would matter, but if you just click on it, you will see that it's mine.
Brackets are out and ready to be filled out. You'll need to have them completed by Thursday, as the First Four play-in on that day.
Good luck, everyone!

Hey everyone.
Just a friendly reminder to have your picks in this morning. The first four games are being held today, and I believe the brackets lock after that.
Good luck and have fun!
Hopefully I made like the CBI or one of these 3rd/4th tier postseason tourneys..........get on the chase NIT radar for this fall

Nope. I had Ohio losing in the Round of 32 in both of them, so I'm only busted for one round. Actually doing quite well relative to normal, so I'mma day 1 brag about being in 1st place in our group (highest possible points), knowing that I'm about to be completely screwed and end up 12th place in the end.
I know they're spelled differently, but Purdue chickened out.
My bracket was sitting in a dismal T-14th place out of 16 at one point last night. But I went 4/4 on the late wave of games, including two upsets. Now I'm back in the mix, up to T-6th.
It also might be worth noting that I have the second most maximum possible points of the group right now, as I've only lost one sweet 16 team (Ohio State) and still have all my elite 8 teams. Knock on wood.
LSU's 76-61 victory over St. Bonaventure moves eight of us into a tie for second place. An 8-way tie!
Covid makes its first interference of the tournament, eliminating VCU and costing me critical points. Awesome.
How the freak did I end up tied for 1st? :D
That won't last. :D

After going a career worst 17/32 in the round of 64, I have a lot less to lose this round so BRING ON THE CARNAGE!
I only had Illinois and Ohio State going so far that their losses don't hurt much. Two years ago I went 28-32 in the opening round, and ended up finishing last because I only got 1/8 Elite Eight teams. Final Four picks are worth 8x the points of any R64 game, and 7/8 of my E8 teams remain which is why even in last I'm not sweating it yet.
Pretty crazy weekend of upsets. Loyola Chicago clearly has a lucky charm in Sister Jean!
Also, congrats to those tied for first at the moment, each with 230 points

I've got the only Baylor pick so I think I basically win if they win and lose if they lose.

Thanks. Arkansas, Villanova, and Syracuse came up big for me. Illinois, on the other hand . . . despite the fact that I have a 40 point lead, I feel that my only chance of winning, or even finishing in the top half for that matter, is if Gonzaga loses before they get to the national title game. Preferably to Iowa in the Elite 8, but I'll take it however I can get it. Even though I have them beating OU, I'm rooting for them to lose today because I'm one of the only people in our group who doesn't have them in the Final Four.

Heh. Your possible max speaks more than your current point total. :D

Michigan's 76-58 win over Florida State moves me back into first place at 610 points. To have any chance at holding on to that lead, I most likely need somebody other than Gonzaga, Michigan, Baylor, or Alabama to win it all. Go Arkansas?

Bama has been eliminated...UCLA rolls into the Elite Eight
And now we have Pac-12 After Dark, NCAA Tourney Style, for the last Elite Eight spot, in USC/Oregon
Doesn't look like I can win anymore. I think I can finish in second 10 points behind. I am proud of my USC Elite 8 pick as I think I'm the only one that had them.

I can finish in second if Baylor wins. Otherwise nowhere close. Go Bears!
The bracket that I am in if Gonzaga loses I win. They win I finish 5th out of 9 :P

UCLA came within a hairsbreadth of validating both of our existences.

I did end up finishing second in the 88.6th percentile - that's pleasing enough. But congrats to Hwill Hweaver for taking it all down despite not having the winner picked. 91st percentile.

I correctly picked a group-high five elite 8 teams, yet not a single final four team. My bracket was in the top 0.2% nationally during the second day of the sweet 16.
Congrats to WillWeaverRVA!!

You can't win if you only fill out the right side of the brackets.
