You > Experts. You knew this already, but now is your chance to prove it.

Every sports website under the sun has a bracket contest to offer, but there's only one that will match you up against all the "experts" from around the country. And, of course, you can challenge your friends as well.

The brackets are all set, so it's time to stop wondering how Oregon got a 9th seed and get your brackets filled out.

Prizes
Grand Prize = Nintendo Wii (+1000 FanIQ Points)

If you recruit the winner (we allow unlimited phone calls and texts to friends, btw) you'll win a $100 Best Buy Gift Certificate.

Best of all, if you're one of the Top 10 fans that beat ALL the experts, you'll win this lousy t-shirt.

We'll be breaking down the brackets all week and entering the experts picks, so after you fill out your brackets and invite some friends be sure to stop back ... frequently.

0	I think my Yahoo! bracket, the one that will be used for most of the sites I go to, will be my instincts bracket and the FanIQ bracket will be the one I actually throughly think through. Either way I am choosing Carolina to win it all and I suggest everyone to do the same

0	I entered the bracket in College Hoops 2K8. Final Four: Louisville, Xavier, Memphis, Kansas State Championship: Louisville over K-State Points of Interest: Tennessee lost in 1st round Western Kentucky to the Elite 8 Duke, Wisconsin, and Georgetown lost in 2nd round

4	Personally, that would make me feel worse about my picks.

0	That would make me feel terrible. You might want to go change that.

0	I agree that George Mason is this year's George Mason. Last time I had them in the Elite 8, they made the Final 4. I have them in the Elite 8 again, yes, beating UNC, just like last time.

0	If the experts are better than me, do I still win something? Like a swift kick to the groin?

0	Good luck with that.

0	The top 4 are good, but I can see Memphis losing to Pitt or Texas, UNC has potentially tough matchups from the 2nd round on (Indiana, Notre Dame, Tennessee/Butler/Louisville), although I do think Kansas and UCLA make it to the Final Four with relative ease.

Well, experience says that won't happen, because it's never happened before. I think three #1s made it once, but never four. But who knows, there's a first time for everything. Although not even looking at a bracket, I'd say the two most likely to fall are Memphis, because they haven't played anyone good since Tennessee. And Kansas, because they're coached by Bill Self. Self is an awful, awful coach.

UCLA, however, has Howland, who is a tremendous coach. Roy Williams isn't a great coach at all, but he has so much talent there and he's not nearly as inept as Self.

0	(Edited by Ryan) Yeah, I signed up myself and family for 800+ accounts. You're on to our system. Dang.....

0	Nah, no spamming. Just a lot of hard work on a few different boards. I'd say half of my recruits only answered one or two polls. But some have held on for the long-haul. Many have way more IQ points than I do. (Of course, that's not hard) No kickbacks, either. Although my FanIQ shirt is hurting pretty badly. I may need to find a way to negotiate another.

I am still waiting on my t-shirt for 10 recruits and I'm on 50. But the leader board does look interesting with recruits from people with no pictures and no polls answered getting the recruits.

Points of Interest: Tennessee lost in 1st round

I just did that on 2K8 also and mine was a tad different:

Final Four: Tennessee, Gonzaga, Arizona, Texas
Championship: Tennessee over Arizona

In the West region seeds 9-14 all won with San Diego and Arizona meeting in the Elite 8.

UCLA,Memphis,Duke,Georgetown all lost in the 2nd round.

The East region had one 1st round upset, Winthrop over Washington St.

Very odd results to say the least.

0	Looking at the recruiting leader board now, I am going to have to give you a thumbs on that one. And I am not just saying that because I was in first until someone "recruited" 35 people.

3/19/08

Jubanator14

0	(Edited by Jubanator14) If they even enter the contest. If you are going to sign up a bunch of phonies at least fill out the Fan Match Test and take a poll or two.

After looking at the entries, it looks like there's a good chance the winner will not have a recruiter! Lots of people without a recruiter. Hopefully one of my guys can step it up in the case that I can't!
