ESPN NCAA Tournament Bracket Challenge

[Just Sayin]

Last year, ESPN reported:

There were 14.7 million brackets entered in ESPN's Tournament Challenge prior to the start of the NCAA tournament

Each person can enter up to 25 different brackets.

In the group "Fans of Valparaiso" an entrant named "Michael1291 16Michael1291" ended up in the 99.9th percentile in one of his/her brackets. If this person enters this year with the same name and joins the "Fans of Valparaiso" board, we will see if last year was just luck.

The overall winner, "chrizzlybear 10chrizzlybear" was in the 100th percentile. This does not mean that he/she had a perfect bracket, he/she did not.

For fun last year, I selected two brackets based solely on Pomeroy's and Sagarin's final rankings before the Thursday first round.

Sagarin placed in the 84.5th percentile.
KenPom placed in the 76.6th percentile.

Sign up on the ESPN bracket challenge. It's the best one online and it's free. You can join "Fans of Valparaiso" group which keeps track of everyone separately from the overall competition. So you can track your place both overall as well as in the Valpo Fan Group. Use your valpofanzone handle if you dare.

I have Valpo as a 10 seed this year and finally making it to the elite 8. 

Jay Bilas picks: 73rd percentile.
Rece Davis: 73rd percentile.
BPI Autofill: 66th percentile.
Seth Greenberg: 63rd percentile
Max Kellerman: 56th percentile
Keyshawn Johnson: 22nd percentile
