Bracketology

I filled out my NCAA brackets this morning. Having zero college basketball knowledge (my school doesn't do the intercollegiate sports thing), it's very much like Battleship--hit or miss, but mostly miss. This year, I employed a slightly more specific technique.

From the 1st Round: Higher Ranked Seed
(With the exception of Cornell, in honor of one Andrew Benard.)

From the 2nd Round: Longer Names
(In case of a tie, it went to the lower letter of the alphabet.)

From the Sweet 16: More realisitc names for my future children
(This helps explain why Marquette made it so far.)

From the Elite 8: Presence of blue in the school colors

From Semi-finals: Cooler mascots

National Champions: Flipped a coin--North Carolina was heads for the win!
