Both MN and VCU let me down but not by much in either game.

Ahhhh how the brackets would look if they didn't.... ;D

How did it work for that Badger/FSU game, and Michigan State and Purdue and Michigan? Damn I am out of breath.

Well, since I have both Purdue, Wisconsin and Michigan State in the Sweet 16 and am leading the pool, I think it's working quite nicely, thank you very much.

Ummm you said "The "Pick against the Big10" strategy is working like a charm!" How does that even make any sense then?

You are!
Well done!

Not to reveal too much (so that none of you mokes steal my strageties for next year) but the "Pick Against the Big-10" move is unlike the "Pick the Big East" where, generally speaking, picking random Big-10 teams to lose (see: Minnesota) and random Big East teams to win (see:
Villanova) can be the difference between a top finish in these pools than a bottom-feeding finish.

Of course, that implies that I spent more than 5 minutes filling out any of the brackets that I've done.
Which I didn't.
Hence the need for all-encompassing strategies.

Comeon.
Are you seriously gonna say you didn't put any thought into your bracket?
For some reason I see you spending countless hours on it once the teams were set.

I had to click on the "Info" button for each pick.....How sad is that.
I did only go through them once though and didn't make any changes.
