Oakland over Texas

Wouldn't be a surprise. Oakland can hold their own.

By the way, how does Florida get a 2 and Purdue a 3 while Texas gets a 4? Their body of work can't touch Texas' and their conferences aren't nearly as strong. Nice to see that even ESPN is ripping the committee right now. Jay Bilas just said, "I wonder if the committee even knows the ball is round." Crazy bracket they've put together this year.

I'm down for a bracket for $$. Anyone else down to do a $10 or $20 dollar bracket? We would have to get it started before Tuesday if so.

Most brackets aren't holding the play-in games against you. They will give you those games.

Oh alright. Still would prefer to get it in before the play in games take place though.

Not sure you'll get to pick those games. I'm doing brackets on Yahoo, CBSSportsline, FoxSports and none allow you to pick the First 4 play-in games.

Yeah I know but someone might think Clemson will make it to the sweet 16 beating UAB and West Va, so I would want them to submit that bracket before Clemson plays the play in game against UAB and happens to lose or whatever.

Kind of weird how they do it. You can put Clem/UAB to advance so you are really betting on 2 teams to advance lol

Their process removes have your bracket effed up by a play-in game.

Make your anticipatory bracket with Clemson or USC or whomever advancing, then wait until you know they play in the actual tournament and confirm or change before Thursday.
