Very few people are college basketball experts, yet we all fill out brackets in our office pools or online.
If you're ready to admit that you don't have all the answers, we've got a handful of potential solutions for you.
Here are 5 unorthodox methods for filling out your NCAA bracket!
1. Mascot Death Battle
If a Blue Devil and Badger fight to the death, who wins? That's for you to decide.
But what if a Tiger (LSU) faces a Tiger (Texas Southern)? Clearly this methodology is flawed.
It also paints a bleak picture for the Wofford Terriers and Oregon Ducks.
2. Coin Flip
8-9 matchups are a toss-up historically. So what better way to decide than with the help of a statistical tool -- like a coin?
Sure, it can be a bit tedious flipping a coin 67 times, but there's no bias in a penny.
3. Celebrity Alumni Battle
George Clooney (Cincinnati) vs Neil Armstrong (Purdue): That's quite a historically significant opening round matchup.
If you're a movie buff, the answer is simple. But if you appreciate gravity and lunar landings, Purdue advances.
6-foot-10 Octavius Ellis vs 7-foot A.J. Hammons -- that's simply not fun to debate.
4. Color Scheme
Wives across America have employed this technique in filling out their brackets for years (and with great success).
Don't care for Carolina powder-blue? Eliminate them! Big fan of highlighter yellow? The Baylor Bears are likely your team.
This is the simplest of all methods.
5. Pretend To Know College Basketball
This method has led to many-a-failed brackets. Maybe you watched one game during the season -- and you're suddenly an expert?
"I really liked what I saw from Stephen F Austin this year. They'll surprise some people." -- That may be a true statement, but remind me how and when you watched them play this season...?
We advise using another method 1-4. It will keep your confidence intact.
