I am convinced that the brackets are a calculus problem and not Algebra. I was in another pool where someone actually picked Connecticut and in doing so almost won the pool by double figures.....He however was born and raised in Connecticut and voted his heart....This however did not work for me either as I took WS as far as I could.....so next year it is back to some random factor. I think I will go with which ever team has a relative of mine living the closest will get the nod. We'll see how that works.
