    Blindfold Bracket Game



    Fun way to fill out the bracket. It lists the team's RPI, type of conference (power, mid-major, small), a seed range (ex: 1-2 seed; 3-4 seed), and a brief description of the team along with star rating things ranking the team on offense, defense, experience and some other things. It was a fun way to go through the bracket.

    Ended up with Gonzaga, Kansas, Syracuse, and Duke in my Final Four with Syracuse beating Duke (I admittedly figured out which team was Syracuse and purposefully picked them because I'm a loyal fan lol).

    Biggest upsets was that I ended up with Iona beating Ohio State in the first round and South Dakota State and LaSalle reaching the Sweet 16 before losing.

    I ended with Miami winning it all, beating Ohio State. That was an interesting way of filling the bracket out for sure.

      That was fun. I had some really interesting picks.

      Final Four: Kansas, Indiana, Belmont!! and Louisville.

      Wisconsin made into the elite eight.

      Kansas was the champion.

        This was fun. I took the results and put it into a bracket on Yahoo so I can see how it turns out.

        I had Saint Louis, Gonzaga, Florida, and Miami in my Final 4 with Gonzaga losing to Miami in the championship. I didn't really have any upsets other than Davidson reaching the Sweet 16.

        Not sure why they only gave Memphis a 2 for offense, considering they average 76 points per game which is Top 20 in the country.

          I'm starting to think there's something to that Wisconsin pick.

            I ended up with Duke, New Mexico, Florida, and Indiana with Florida over Duke in the championship.

            Had a Davidson/Bucknell 2nd round matchup, and Wisconsin was my worst seed in the Elite 8. Louisville lost to Saint Louis.

              Duke, Miami, Florida, and Belmont. Two of my actual final four picks. And I am locking in my Belmont over Arizona pick. I have New Mexico in the FF from that region, so I can't pick them to go any further.

              Florida over Duke in the championship.

              Valparaiso made my sweet 16, as did South Dakota State and Davidson. And NC State made it to the elite eight.

              Several of my upset picks actually matched up, just not Valpo.

                  I tried this and ended up with Indiana over St. Louis for the title. Biggest 1st round upset was South Dakota St over Michigan.

                    Ended up with Kansas over Saint Louis. Had Davidson in the sweet 16, but in my real bracket I have Bucknell over them....so not that big. I had Valpo over Michigan State

                      I had the exact same final Indiana over St. Louis. My bracket was actaully very similar to my real one, only 1 final 4 team the same but most of the early round picks were the same.

                        Got St. Louis, New Mexico, Florida, and Miami in the Final Four. I picked two of those teams in my current bracket. St. Louis beat Florida in the Championship.

                        Davidson was the biggest Cinderella story making it to the Sweet 16.

                        Bucknell, Belmont, Oklahoma, Cal, and Minnesota all pulled off the first round upset as well.

                        Villanova and Wichita State both advanced as 9 seeds as well, but I don't consider them upsets as much.

                          With the exception of the Midwest bracket, it went almost exactly like I already had. 23/24 first round matchups were the same in the other regions, and the East region was exactly the same all the way, which included picking the 11, 12, and 14 seeds winning. The South and West broke down in the Sweet 16.

                          Wound up with Duke, Gonzaga, Florida, and Indiana with Florida over Duke.

                            I ended up with Indiana, Duke, Miami, and Ohio State in my Final Four. Indiana over Duke for the Championship.

                            I had Davidson in the Sweet 16, other than that it seemed straight forward chalk. I ignored the top portion and just focused on the bottom section so not to be tipped off as to who was who.

                              Interesting.

                              Blindfolded, I wound up with Louisville, Ohio State, Florida and Indiana with Florida beating Louisville for the title.
