This morning, saw on ESPN that, of 4.5 million entrants into their bracket contest, only 56 are still perfect after yesterday's games.

That's .0001244 percent.

I am not among them, that's for sure.

The Marquette one is the only one I would have never have called.

I correctly guessed most of the others. I didn't pick Ohio over Georgetown, but i almost did and could certainly see it as possible.

Today, I have upsets with Cornell, Missouri, Siena, and if you can call it one, Louisville.

Keeping an eye on Minnesota, too.

I did think I had too many upsets, but if today is like yesterday, the number is fine (although the picks could be wrong).

Imagine if each matchup in the tourney was a best of 3. We get this strange snap shot of the "winning" team, even when we know the best team didn't win. I think that's what makes college basketball and football so interesting.

I don't see how anyone picked OHIO over G'Town, Murray State over Vandy, Old Dominion over ND and Washington over Marquette with confidence? If I had picked those upsets I would have gone back and changed a couple of those before it was too late. That's just too much to predict on the first day. You gotta leave some room for some 2nd day upsets.

I'm at least over 50%.

If you are still perfect, you know very little about college basketball, in my opinion. Haha!

I was 7-5 yesterday, but I did pick OD over ND and St. Mary's over Richmond. I did however lose 3 of my sweet sixteen and 1 elite eight team. OUCH!!!!!!

I didn't think they would at all. Given the way the Big East is performing right now, I'm kind of getting worried I made the wrong pick in the UL-Cal game today.

I am 149,238, just a whisker shy of 97th percentile. I take that to mean nothing other than my mental superiority over LG.

Why do you set yourself up for such an easy putback if at the end I'm ahead of you?

I'm tied for 1st for the $250 gift card right now.

Don't worry though, I can only be so lucky for a little while. If I had another 15-1 day today, it'd surprise the hell out of me. The more I think about it, the more I think I should have stuck with Xavier over Minnesota. Also, I'm getting a feeling that Temple will win today vs. Cornell.

That is crazy but, I can believe it. Makes me feel better about my bracket.

I didn't do a ESPN bracket, but I did the CBS one. I'm currently ranked #125, which isn't bad I dont' think. I'm two points away from being tied for first...darn Marquette and UTEP
