I do this every year on ESPN.com despite not following the college season anywhere near as closely as I do the NBA. Is Selection Sunday this coming one?
So did anyone else do this? I did one on ESPN.com - I picked the upset of St Mary's over Richmond due to my scientific research based on the fact that Patty Mills played there last year...
My bracket is on life support with Duke my only live team left with a chance of going to the final four - I was seriously doing well up until the sweet 16...
From ESPN.com's competition - this shows how hard it was to pick this year:
1. Out of 4.78 million brackets on ESPN.com, 200 successfully picked the correct Final Four.
2. 304,924 brackets (6.4%) picked Duke to win it all.
224,417 brackets (4.7%) picked West Virginia to win it all.
28,379 brackets (0.59%) picked Michigan State to win it all.
4,568 brackets (0.1%) picked Butler to win it all.
3. 10,212 brackets picked a Duke/MSU championship game.
6,951 brackets picked a WVU/MSU championship game.
1,430 brackets picked a Duke/Butler championship game.
1,664 brackets picked a WVU/Butler championship game.
I finished up coming in 180,456th place out of 4.8 million entries on ESPN.com which wasn't too bad. It's the first time I've picked the eventual winner in about 4 or 5 years of trying
