If you're reading this while sitting in your office, chances are you've already heard the words "upset," "seeds" and "Sweet 16," and they had nothing to do with your daughter crying about getting a potted agent for her 16th birthday. And if you're reading this while sitting in your office, chances are someone has weary most of the broad daylight at the copy machine, not-so-discreetly photocopying stacks of NCAA meet brackets. Yes, March Madness is here, and you might as well be with in (strictly for fun, of course). What? You don't be acquainted with anything about college basketball? Don't worry, because neither does the gazebo who wears Duke shoelaces and has a mini-hoop over his rubbish can. Correctly filler out a class requires heaps of luck, as well as some fundamental knowledge.
But that erudition has more to do with numbers than sports. In the NCAA tournament, teams with coarse numbers in main of their names are predominantly good, and teams with towering numbers in vanguard of their names are superficially not as good. But on occasion it can be skylarking to fire a only trail. MASCOT MAYHEM I've heard so many nation choicest winners based on body mascots. One co-worker said she picked based on which mascot she liked better.
To wipe out it a impression further, I suggest you bring based on which mascot would realize in a fight. A tiger (Memphis) will always allure out a avoid (Oregon). And if you don't understand what a team's mascot absolutely is--the Cornell Big Red comes to mind--it's best to live away. And at times a mascot is not what it seems. Stanford's mascot is the Cardinal.
It's other-worldly enough that it's not plural; it's beyond outlandish that its solid costumed mascot is a tree. Trees attain fights against sunlight, but that's about it. BORING WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS People true-love picking upsets because they charge from bragging about picking upsets. But most upset-obsessed bracketeers don't hillock you all the picks they got wrong. Yes, they picked the No. 11 successors that pre-empt the No. 6 seed, but they didn't forecast you they picked all four No. 11 seeds to win. Bracketeers never away obligation pools. But chickens every so often do.
Calm down, none of these teams has a chicken for a mascot. You are the one that can be the chicken. You can harvest every favorite to trounce every loser all the habit through, with the numbers serving as your guide.
When you reach into the mind of the Final Four and have all No. 1 seeds, you can either use a rankings Web locale (ken pom.com is good), or you can lapse to mascot fights.
I feel reverence to post: there
