NCAA Tournament

This is my favorite time of the sports year; the NCAA basketball tournament.

For those teams whining as to why they're not in. Here's a clue. Play somebody and beat them; preferably on the road.

But Gordon, Syracuse is in the Big East, they have to play a brutal conference schedule. Really, Nearly every team in the Big East (all power conferences for that matter) fattens up on non-league opponents at home so we have all kinds of 10-0, 9-1, 8-3 records before conference play so they all look like good teams. Most of the teams don't leave their home courts until January, it's rigged.

In fact, I'd be willing to wager a lot of money that if the Big East, the Big Eleven (Big Ten for those who can't count), and the ACC played a home and home schedules with MVC, Mountain West or MAC teams those non conference records would look more like 7-3, 6-4, 5-5.

That aside look for a great tournament full of upsets. My pick, Go Gators.

Of course I'm the same guy who predicted

1) GOP keeps Congress
2) Bears win the Super Bowl.
