I have a total of four different brackets, but only one of them involves money; the rest are for bragging rights.
Right now, with the first games underway but none completed yet, I’m feeling pretty good about picking Wisconsin-Milwaukee over Alabama in the money pool. I’m feeling significantly less good about picking Pittsburgh over Pacific, though, especially since most of the experts were calling that a near-certain upset. I went with Pacific in at least a couple of my brackets…but not in the one that could make me a few bucks. At least Pitt isn’t as far behind as they were at halftime.
And is anyone else surprised at how close Niagara was playing Oklahoma for a while there? They’re down 13 now, but they were within 4 points at a couple of different times in the game. That would have been quite the bracket-buster.
