I used to do that with Indiana...picked them to win it about ever year from the late 80's for about 10 years....worked one time, 87, but that was it!reclegend22;1392744 wrote:The first thing I do in my bracket every year is pick my favorite team to win. That's why I only have won one bracket contest in my life. 2010. I've been very close in other years (in 2005 all I needed was Arizona to close the deal with Illinois and I had $500 in my pocket ... I paced around the house after that game until morning. No exaggeration. I still hate Deron Williams and Luther ****--- Head), but usually Duke's string of Sweet 16 exits did a number on my productivity for years.
Even in the rare cases that I fill out a second bracket, I end up penciling Duke to the championship. It's a compulsion.

Finished in top 99.6% of ESPN back in 2001 and top 99.1% in 2005.
Haven't faired well since. Amazing how a job kills my ability to watch West Coast Conference basketball.

This is the first year my college bracket pool will be fun since I got here, because essentially everyone in it, (including myself) has just picked UK to win each of the past three years.

Also,
the odds of attaining a perfect bracket are 1 in 35,360,000,000. (Or, according to Book Of Odds, "almost 18 times worse than your odds of being killed by a waterspout in a year [1 in 1,988,000,000].")
