I picked 14 of the Sweet 16. I gut told me Arkansas would upset Saint John’s. But I couldn’t violate my bracket rule of not picking teams more than three seeds away. Winning the pool is about getting winners to the Sweet 16, picking three of the four Final Four and picking the two teams and the winner in the championship game.
Last year I won the pool. Almost everyone picked UConn. Having the most teams still in the Sweet 16 won the pool for me. In fact I won before the championship game. No one had Purdue losing the final.
