Make that three.  I've got to fill out my brackets for the pools I'll be in, so I'll officially sign up then, but that day will be today--this evening.

This year is going to be tough.  Too many games can go either way.

Good luck everyone, I hope you all get almost as many right as me.

There's 4 pages with each region represented, one page with the semis and finals, and one page showing the whole bracket.

So you're saying on the far side of the grid where the teams are listed, you're getting no teams showing up?

That is correct. It's blank under the headers.

Right now, it looks as if 'Nova's gonna skate.  Gonzaga is neck-and-neck.

I could use Clemson to come alive vs. Michigan.

Yup-ers

Nova was down 14 points a bit there. Zaga is pulling away nicely. (which is nice as I have them knocking off NC, lol)

I picked Michigan to win then switched it to Clemson on the basis of one article about cinderella possibilities.   :beer:

On edit:

I had that bass-ackwards. I was thinking of Minnesota Texas. iow, I got them both wrong. (picked the wrong Big 10 upset) :lmao:
