I’m in, but really only because I already had a bracket filled out for a no-stakes family competition than none of us takes very seriously. So I don’t expect to do very well… ---

Damn I missed one already, That million bucks for a perfect bracket is blown. I guess should maybe do two or three brackets next year to knock those one in 18 quintillion odds down a bit. 😉 [sub] yeah I know it’s not a true 50:50 for each one since some teams are actually better than others, but crap that would be one hell of a hard calculation of true odds to win, not to mention it would be different for each bracket each year[/sub] ---

And some stats, cause I’m bored. To win it all: Kansas 28 Kentucky 6 Syracuse 4 Duke 3 West Virginia 2 Ohio state 1 Pittsburgh 1 Very Kansas heavy, I’m a bit surprised Kentucky didn’t get a bit more love, and no one went with Kansas state. ---

A couple of my upset specials have panned out: Murray St over Vandy and Old Dominion over Notre Dame. Sweet! ---

> [@wolfman](#): > > Damn I missed one already, That million bucks for a perfect bracket is blown. After 7 games have been updated, the SDMB group is down to 2 people that still have a shot at the million. I’m not one of them, but I did call Old Dominion over Notre Dame. I missed Murray State over Vandy, and BYU over Florida. ---

Kansas losing is going to hurt a lot of brackets, mine included. ---

Fuck, lemme check on my **formerly** 99.1% bracket on ESPN… …yep, I’ve dropped down to 103,709th place…in the 97.8 percentile… What a crazy assed tournament this has been so far! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2010-tourney-bracket-challenge/532511.md?page=1)
