'Tis that time of year, I guess. Care to guess what the odds are that you can correctly choose the winners of all 64 games? It's better than one in 2^64, which would be the odds if each game were evenly matched, but it's still pretty long odds, you probably have a better chance of hitting the Powerball drawing.

I wonder how well folks would have done in past years had they simply taken the favorites in every game? If the seedings are decently accurate, in the long run, that should be the best strategy.

That said, I think KS has a head problem and won't make the Sweet 16. MO won't either, simply because they have to beat the #1 seed to do it.

My WI Badgers are sitting out West with a #6 seed, poised to surprise again, just like last year. It's probably too much to ask them to do it again ...

I've heard some knocks on Duke. Just what the doctor ordered to get them up for this, and with their rich history, I'll select them to win the whole thing.
