Meanwhile, we await Glenn's Thursday picks.

They didn't rig it though. You just think they did. You just ignore the facts and claim it's a conspiracy based upon nothing but conjecture. Meanwhile, I related to you how it is ACTUALLY done. If you reverse engineered the brackets using that method, you'd see that's exactly how it was done. There is a system in place, with rules, and if there was a broad divergence from that system and the rules, with all the attentive, interested eyes, it would be immediately uncovered.

Your thread belongs in the tin foil hat forum. I'm asking that it be moved there.

A number of complex rules govern the seeding process, so it is not as simple as merely following the S-curve, although that is the top priority according to the NCAA's rules.[4] The better a team is, the more priority they have in remaining close to home, but no team can actually play on its home court if it is hosting tournament games (generally, games are hosted on neutral courts, so this is not usually a problem). Sometimes a top team may be a short drive away from its games; in 2006 Villanova played its first and second round games in Philadelphia at an arena where they had played three games that year, one fewer than the four required for a site to be considered a "home court" for a team, and in 2002 the Pitt Panthers played their first and second round games in the city of Pittsburgh at Mellon Arena, which they used occasionally for home games. In the women's tournament, this criterion does not apply and a team that is hosting is automatically assigned its home arena, regardless of seed. Thus, occasionally, lower seeded teams will host a game. For example, in 2006 Old Dominion, although a 10th seed, played at its home court in the first round and also would have played there in the second round had the Lady Monarchs won that game.

Glenn just appears to be disgruntled about everything today. For my part, I'm going to be watching every single game I can. I have a few favorites, of course, but anybody who thinks beating "Providence, Iowa State, Ct [Connecticut] or Villanova and Michigan State" is going to be a cakewalk doesn't know basketball.
The former and present members of The Big East are always formidable. By the same token, Wichita State has a damned good chance of beating Duke and Kentucky - and possibly even Louisville.
I eat, drink, and breathe college basketball. Subscribe to SI and ESPN. Watch every game I can and actually study the strong and weak points of my top 25 teams (I can't be everywhere). Could I pick the winners in every bracket? No! Could I pick the Sweet Sixteen? Probably - actually, Most Likely. And it doesn't have as much to do with the hoopla surrounding their opponents as it does with my system of handicapping.
So, Glenn. Who do you like on Thursday?

Why is glen picking the sports industry for rants against greed.

Those corporations going beyond "fair and reasonable profits" aren't subject to his wrath (eg: McDonalds, Walmart, etc).

So, Glenn, who do you like on Thursday?

Glen has no problem with any business that makes exorbitant profits, even when they pay their employees dog sh*t and take public financing. That's just good business sense. There is no such thing as an unreasonable profit in his mind when it doesn't affect his sport's team. That's telling.

Guess as you state you're an avid fan and watch b-ball religiously, so to speak, I'm probably in trouble already--lol!

Just realized that I didn't list all the games being played tomorrow. I forgot to turn my paper over (hand-made two-sided in pencil on printer paper). To continue with my picks for Thursday, March 20th:
Cincinnati vs. Harvard - Cinci
Michigan State vs. Delaware - Mich. S
Connecticut vs. St. Joseph's - A hard one! I'm almost going to say St. Joe's here. They've been looking good lately.
Villanova vs. Milwaukee - 'Nova
St. Louis vs. North Carolina State - N.C.S.
Louisville vs. Manhattan - Louisville
Texas vs. Arizona - Another hard one. Love my horns, but Arizona's got some players. Going with my heart. Texas
Michigan vs. Wofford - Michigan

Don't think you're in trouble. Remember Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles in 2013? It's March Madness and some teams rise to the occasion - big time!
