    Yep. I used to analyze the crap out of it, went with trends, gut feelings, etc. I thought about not doing one this year but I just thought, what the hell. Seems like the favorites are in the Elite 8 and Final 4 every year and although I knew all 4 one seeds never made it, I just thought I'd pick favorites every time, since I wasn't that invested in it, and see how it went.

    I guess that 97.9% is where you stand nationally vs all the other folks playing. I've often wondered about how hard it'd be to beat the favorites. Well apparently only 2.1% have managed to do so

    Congratulations to Chip on a cagey hasty bracket.
    How did Kentucky kill you, but you had UNC in the final?

    I'm talking in terms of finishing last, which would have been mine if Kentucky and Kansas (teams I had bowing out earlier than others) had each won one more round. I got hosed in the round of 32. Last place was the only thing I could reasonably hope to win. Now I can't even do that, stupid Tar Heels.

    Looks like Raisor won to me. Am I looking at it wrong? Or are they now the same person?

    Not the same person. Chip just picked an anti-Raisor moniker.
