Your bracket doesn't fall apart until Round 2? You'll have to teach me your secret.

Agree. Most years it hovered around .500, so not extremely unusual, but this year might have the lowest success rate among all contestants. Quite a few league favorites lost, that had an effect. It's common for people to go with a lot of chalk.
I feel like @cykee05 should have to forfeit all of their winnings since they didn't choose Iowa State to win the Big XII.
At the very least, can we at least put an asterisk of shame next to their name?

To be honest, I did that not because I expected them to win, but because I refused to root for anyone else. It's problematic when I'm filling out my NCAA brackets.
I admit I didn't pick ISU for auto-bid. Thought about doing it, because the path to title looked favorable, assuming we finally could conquer BU. But I chickened out, wasn't sure ISU would find enough footing for 3 wins in 3 days.
Well, mark this down as the only thing I did "right" for March Madness...none of my brackets are doing me any favors!
