SH's Bracket

Here's a bracket for a REAL tournament. I wanted to go 16, but I find that I have to go to 32 in order to get all the auto bids in. Also, none of these auto-bids are official yet. And, yes, it's REALLY hard to judge teams with all these cancellations and nobody playing an equal number of games....

WEST:
#8 San Jose State (MWC Champ) vs. #1 Notre Dame (ACC Champ)
#5 U$C (Pac-12 Champ) vs. #4 Northwestern (Big Ten At-Large)
#6 Missouri (SEC At-Large) vs. #3 Iowa State (Big XII Champ)
#7 Colorado (Pac-12 At-Large) vs. #2 Texas A&M (SEC At-Large)

SOUTH:

#8 UT-San Antonio (C-USA Champ) vs. #1 Alabama (SEC Champ; Overall #1)
#5 OK State (Big XII At-Large) vs. #4 Liberty (Independent At-Large)
#6 North Carolina (ACC At-Large) vs. #3 Oklahoma (Big XII At-Large)
#7 Wisconsin (Big Ten At-Large) vs. #2 Coastal Carolina (Sun Belt Champ)

MIDWEST:

#8 Boise State (MWC At-Large) vs. #1 Ohio State (Big Ten At-Large)
#5 Tulsa (AAC Champ) vs. #4 BYU (Independent At-Large)
#6 Texas (Big XII At-Large) vs. #3 Cincinnati (AAC At-Large)
#7 Iowa (Big Ten At-Large) vs. #2 Florida (SEC At-Large)

EAST:

#8 Buffalo (MAC Champ) vs. #1 Clemson (ACC At-Large)
#5 Army (Independent At-Large) vs. #4 Miami (ACC At-Large)
#6 NC State (ACC At-Large) vs. #3 Georgia (SEC At-Large)
#7 Marshall (C-USA At-Large) vs. #2 Indiana (Big Ten Champ)

My picks:

#1 Notre Dame d. #8 San Jose State
#5 U$C d. #4 Northwestern
#6 Missouri d. #3 Iowa State
#2 Texas A&M d. #7 Colorado
#1 Notre Dame d. #5 U$C
#2 Texas A&M d. #6 Missouri
#1 Notre Dame d. #2 Texas A&M

#1 Alabama d. #8UTSA
#4 Liberty d. #5 OK State
#3 Oklahoma d. #6 North Carolina
#2 Coastal Carolina d. #7 Wisconsin
#1 Alabama d. #4 Liberty
#2 Coastal Carolina d. #3 Oklahoma
#1 Alabama d. #2 Coastal Carolina

#1 Ohio State d. #8 Boise State
#4 BYU d. #5 Tulsa
#6 Texas d. #3 Cincinnati
#2 Florida d. #7 Iowa
#1 Ohio State d. #4 BYU
#2 Florida d. #6 Texas
#2 Florida d. #1 Ohio State

#1 Clemson d. #8 Buffalo
#5 Army d. #4 Miami
#3 Georgia d. #6 NC State
#2 Indiana d. #7 Marshall
#1 Clemson d. #5 Marshall
#3 Georgia d. #2 Indiana
#3 Georgia d. #1 Clemson

Final Four:

#1 Notre Dame d. #3 Georgia
#1 Alabama d. #2 Florida

FBS Championship:

#1 Notre Dame d. #1 Alabama

I would LOVE to see CCU and Liberty in the finals, but I don't think they'd escape being in the same region, much less win enough games to get there....

I love that your final four is just chalk. Deep down, you know what's up.

Isn't his Elite 8 basically chalk other than Coastal getting in there too?

Yup. Really makes a case for expansion. :lol:

FTR, I'm all for 8 or 16. 32 is just dumb.

I'm not getting the reference. What's "chalk" in this instance?

Maybe I'm not understanding what's above but...are you suggesting that Coastal would beat Wisconsin and Oklahoma? :dunce: :dunce:

Wisconsin, is 2-2 with 1 game to go. They are at the line (.500) but would they make it vs "better" teams?

2020 is a weird year so who knows.

I think maybe 3 SEC teams.

In sports, especially sports betting, chalk means the favorites. Having two #1s, a #2 and a #3 is pretty close to chalk and shows little faith in the underdogs.

I didn't like using it, I just couldn't think of another word. I hate it when people use it during March Madness.
