Now that we know the 68 team tournament. I am starting a Bracket challenge on atlas.
Participants can just post their brackets for the entire tournament (including the first four) here by 6pm on Tuesday.(I will lock this thread then) At the end of each round I will post standings (in a separate thread), until the end of the tournament when we would have a winner
Each game correctly picked would be worth 1 point

Here is the bracket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_NCAA_Men's_Division_I_Basketball_Tournament

Good luck to all the Participants.

My prediction is that in the round of 64 there will be between 6 and 9 games with an upset based on seeding.

http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2016/en/entry?entryID=806656

Florida Gulf Coast
Wichita State
Michigan
Holy Cross

For the record, I agree almost entirely with Myron Medcalf, and I filled out my bracket before reading. I wasn't bold enough to actually go with picking Chattanooga though I half expect it. I certainly don't see Villanova losing to Temple (though I have taken them out of the Final Four in place of Cal), and I believe Kansas will underperform unlike his expectations. Shades of Indiana 2012 for me (where they won big games with Michigan/Oklahoma for the most part, and then the other one is the Finalist). Also some shades of Louisville 2012 though so they might just pull it off.

Didn't have the guts to pick UNI or St. Joe's in Rd 2 either.

My #2 choice is also a rule - don't bet against anyone named Tony Bennett.

Breaking: Kansas has 0% chance at nomination. All 11 seeds to lose in first round.

Unfortunately, no one was assigned a probability of -10% this time around so the winner could be any of the other teams.

Nova, Texas A& M, UNC & Mich State . I made either UNC or Spartans win, since Danny Green and Draymond Green, two stars, I like in NBA

4 for 4!!! SCOREBOARD! (I was confident in last night's pair. Tonight's I was very concerned about as I had seen very little of Southern this year and didn't believe Michigan or Tulsa belonged in the field)
