Sick.
This bracket ain't right. Either the person filled out 150 different brackets or they're a super genius.
The year two #8 seeds made it to the Final Four (2000 or 2001, I think-- it was Wisconsin and UNC), only one person (a woman, actually) picked the Final Four correctly. The next year they featured her bracket with their "expert" picks, and she finished in something like the 30th percentile.
In an unrelated note, if anyone has a copy of Billy Packer's anti-George Mason rant during the selection show (just the text, I don't need the audio), put it in the comments section.

The argument Packer made was about the selection of George Mason. I don't understand how its success in the tournament changes that at all?
The committee selects teams based on their bodies of work during the season. The criticism was that GM didn't have a sufficient body of work as compared to Power Conference schools.
How they overachieved in four games subsequently does absolutely nothing to disprove that suggestion.
