Just curious
In my 5 brackets I have one that is perfect and one that has 1 victory from the first four. How are others starting out?
March 15th, 2012 at 11:08 AM

Not sure if serious
But your brackets really do first four games? I have never considered such a possibility. The games Tuesday were captivating, but the ones last night were brutal.

Yeah we included them...
My friends and I decided to include the play-in games just for fun. Then I went to the March Madness website and they included them too. To be honest, I didn't have a clue about these games and felt it just gave people a chance to get an early lead.

I had enough of a challenge having everyone get their brackets in by noon.

I am overly skeptical about Murray State. I kind of want them to lose so I can feel right about saying how they were ranked too high all year. I think this officially makes me a hater and I'm not too proud.

I'm marrying into a family of Duke fans. All the men in the family pick Duke to win it all every year.
I grew up a Carolina fan (because I grew up in Chicago and Michael Jordan and all that). I can't wait to watch how this goes down.
FWIW, I've got Duke losing to Baylor.

I hate today and love today.
I hate it because I have two enormous tests coming up in the next week and I can't just sit around watching all the games playing today.
But I love today too, because a club I'm in is doing a tour of the Big House, so I'm going to be taking a tour of the stadium as a study break, so I get to see the locker rooms and walk the field. I'm pretty damn excited for that.

I'm with you. I'm still
I'm with you. I'm still calling it "First Round". Those early games are "Play-In" games as far as I am concerned.
But we don't have a prayer. We were all never going to call Div 1-AA "FCS", or call the Big Ten East and West Divisions "Leaders" and "Legends". But the great media marketing machines wore us down.
Hello Second Round.

I'm just going to pretend that the two WC teams finished with the same record and are having a 1 game playoff for the final spot.
March 15th, 2012 at 12:02 PM

Not sure about that
This one's a little different. Names like "I-AA" and "FCS" are just arbitrary labels. "First round" is more descriptive. For 64 of the teams, this is their first round of NCAA tournament action. For only four teams is it the second round, and few even watch their "first round" games, anyway. I could possibly see the NCAA backtracking on this.
