craziest upset you predicted in any of your brackets

[pumpkinhead33793]

If you want to pick an extreme upset, say a 15 over a 2, you really need to think about the higher seed. Do you feel confident that they will not advance much farther even if they win that game? Take people saying Belmont will beat Virginia. If Virginia wins that game, do you see them losing soon after? Because if you pick that extreme upset and the favorite ends up going say to the final 4, your bracket is really toast.

It is great bragging rights if you pick Belmont and they win, but it only counts as 1 point in the 1st round and you probably have them losing in the next round anyway. That is why to win a bracket pool, the upset picks rarely make the difference between winning and losing.

Wyoming to win a game

That is a luxury afforded by filling out multiple brackets. Do you also have KY winning it all in at least one of your other brackets?

I filled out two brackets and have UK winning it all in both. One, I completed the way I "believe" the tourney will go and the other was focused more on the potential upset factor.

 

[bksballer89]

Oh yeah I also have Georgetown & Utah losing in the first round of the same bracket

Dear lord make that happen

 

[DHoey]

I've got Georgia State in the Sweet 16

Because their conference title game was so impressive?

 

[UK Cowboy]

Because their conference title game was so impressive?

In spite it. They have good guards and a couple of winnable games

Ahh. I don't have the slightest clue about them, except when I saw the score of their championship game I thought it was a football score

 

[UK Cowboy]

Ahh. I don't have the slightest clue about them, except when I saw the score of their championship game I thought it was a football score

Yeah that was pretty sad. I haven't even seen them play. I just know Hunter is a big-time player, Ware was good at Louisville and Harrow was solid at UK, they have some kids that can play

I guess I did know that kevin ware transferred there. Good to see him back on the court.

 

[Demonjoe93]

I got Wofford beating Arkansas.

 

[Smart]

Sparty to the Final Four.

Sparty to the Final Four.

In one bracket my elite 8 is Oklahoma vs Sparty

 

[gordontrue]

I really think this is going to be a chalk year... especially from the elite 8 on

Call me crazy, but I think filling out multiple brackets actually nullifies your ability to say you've "predicted" anything.

The very definition of a prediction is to tell something in advance of it happening. If you say one thing, and then at virtually the same instant say the exact opposite of that thing, did you really make a prediction at all? All you're doing is making multiple hedges so you can eventually claim the one with the most success as being representative of your ability to prognosticate.

I call poppycock.
