We're up to 56 entries, a more normal total

What's the cutoff day/time? I need to sit down and figure out a full bracket. |
Anytime before the first game starts |
First game doesn't start for over an hour, but it says it's locked and won't let me join.
Guess I'll miss it this year.

It was doing that earlier, but it's working properly now. Try again!

When I try, when I click on the group name, it says "Group is locked". When I put in the password it says you have to check the box next to an entry, but there are no boxes to check. It's all grayed out because it's already locked.
I give up.

We wound up with an even 60 entries, slightly down from last year. ESPN locking the group early apparently cost us some entries.

I had Belmont going a few rounds, so I'm probably sunk already

4 people have a perfect bracket so far!
Really thought Michigan St would beat Arizona St but that was way off!

The only game that messed me up today was the Green Bay/Purdue result.

Currently tied for 57th place. Guess I'm done. None of my predicted upsets panned out.

First round doesn't matter all that much. Now it starts getting interesting. But we've had some good games so far. Lots of fun stuff.

Despite the paucity of upsets, only 46 brackets in the country are still perfect.

Probably because few picked Quinnipiac over Marquette. That is really the only game that stood out as an outlier.

A team that went 6-12 in the Pac 10 beat a team that went 8-8 in the SEC. I definitely didn't call that.

pilight, just saw your bracket. OUCH! I guess I won't finish last at least. But really, Belmont vs. Drake in the Lexington final?

I have a system that normally works pretty well. For some reason it gave me a bunch of upsets this year.

Almost all of Cal's losses in PAC-12 play were very close, so I believe Cal is better than their conference record showed.

Gee, that's funny. I could have sworn that I copied my ND Nation bracket exactly for the ESPN one. Apparently, I didn't since there was one difference: For some reason I picked UK instead of tOSU on the ESPN one. Doh!
