The World's Common Tater

The NCAA brackets were revealed last night. In past years, I would have spent the day studying the matchups, reading up on the teams, and making what I thought was an informed decision.

Those days are long gone.

The brackets were revealed at 6. CBS had the bracket games open later last night. I filled my bracket out in about five minutes based on little more than my gut and what little I know from watching some games this year.

The key to bracket success? Read what I have to say and so the complete opposite.

Here we go.

Final Thoughts

I’m not really happy with my bracket, but I did look at it a couple of times and didn’t see any big changes I wanted to make.

I have fewer first-round upsets this year. I hope I’m wrong.

I have two west coast teams in the final four. I’m usually much more east coast biased.

I also have a bracket where Kentucky wins the entire thing. I do that every year no matter how good the team is.
