Does anyone else find it funny how we turn a form of exercise and entertainment into a “science” every March? I think it is simply silly. But I love it.
My version of “science” has typically included things like uniform colors, mascots, handsome men . . . with a little smattering of looking at their season records and offensive/defensive strengths. Also – loyalty plays into my science. I typically pick Utah schools to win at least one game – especially BYU since it is my alma mater.
HOWEVER, they (BYU) fail me (and more importantly, ruin my bracket) EVERY YEAR!! Last year, I vowed NEVER AGAIN to pick them to win one single game; but, this year I was talked into one more year of loyalty. Predictably, they let me down and messed up my bracket AGAIN!!! Aaaagggh!
“Science” or not, they are OFF THE LIST. I am finished with them forever.

Amen to that, sister!
Now that it's all said and done I definately agree. Of course, I knew this all along, but there's always this hope, even as I watch my bracket fall apart in the first round, that somehow things will still work out for me. Perhaps, I think, they'll find out a ref cheated and reverse a game. Perhaps all the other people in my group will all drop out. It never happens, but I still hope, still wait it out to the last game.
Perhaps that's the most, predictable, scientific part of it, that year after year millions of people still predict, still hope, and still pretend that if they think about it hard enough they can get their picks all right.
If picking a good bracket is a science it's one of those upper division courses I didn't bother to take--the theory of relativity or something.
