Anyone else check out the “criteria” brackets? I thought the “smartest” and “party school” ones were funny. ---

Yahoo is telling me I won a Bracket Challenge group in 2006, it wasn’t the SDMB group… but I still think I’m due. 😉 ---

I’m a little disappointed in this year’s turnout. Come on Dopers! Get your brackets entered before it’s too late! ---

I spent all of 5 minutes on my bracket. Crash and Burn like I always do. Too loyal to the ACC. GO DUKE! (even though I did not pick them to win) ---

I guess it would help if I clicked the “View Complete Standings” link. :smack: I kept wondering why I was only seeing ten brackets. Last chance! Get your brackets in or make your last minute changes before they lock everything down this morning. ---

I totally went with my heart on this bracket, unlike my $$ bracket for the office pool. So I won’t be surprised if I am scraping the bottom of the SDMB standings. But rooting for underdogs is so much fun! ---

My three brackets are entered… only took 2 hours on my iPhone thanks to websense at work :smack: Good luck everyone but you’re eating my dust 😃 ---

I hope I don’t crash and burn early. Also, my work just decided to block the yahoo sports site, so I’ll have to wait until I get home to check it out. ---

No 1-16 upset again. Good game Southern, but no cigar. Oregon is handling OK State. I’d be pissed if I were an Okie Light fan. No way should Oregon have been a 12 seed. The whole PAC-12 is underseeded. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go undefeated in the first round (second round, sorry.) Colorado beat Oregon twice this season. They will take care of Illinois tomorrow. ---

Apparently I’m out here to defend my Title from 09… WM Pugs will hopefully win the Day! ---

My first wrong pick was Cal v. UNLV. I _knew_ that just about every Pac-12 Team is underseeded by at least 2-3, but I picked UNLV instead. Whoops. ---

Ouch… I had New Mexico in the Final Four. I blame Charles Barkley for saying the Mountain West was better than the Big Ten. Enjoy the rest of the competition, folks! (I had UNLV in the in the Sweet 16 as well.) ---

(I had UNLV in the in the Sweet 16 as well.) I had Pittsburgh in the elite 8. I’m not 100% out of it, but my bracket is suffering from some serious injuries brought about by idiocy. ---

10 - 6 is not a good first day, but I still have 15 left in the Sweet 16, so I won’t consider myself out of it until later tonight! ---

If Creighton can win, my MW bracket will stay perfect. ---

5-seeds are dropping like flies! I’ve had four wrong picks so far and three have been 5-seeds (the fourth one being New Mexico, who I had in the Final Four).
