I am down for this. I prefer Yahoo but whatever is fine. I basically only watch the conference of champions so I'll be at a definite disadvantage but it's all in good fun.

What do you mean by "done"? I don't know if anyone in human history has predicted the first 48 games correctly. I am certain no one has gotten all 63.

Man AZ got a tough draw.....not in west...4 seed in overall top seed Virginia's bracket...would meet in sweet 16...and Kentucky who has been on fire...they'd have to meet them in the 2nd round before meeting Virginia in the next....brutal.

OK then let me put it this way... I think there'll be more upsets this year than there has ever been. Anytime auburn, usc, Tennessee, Bama, and Purdue are ranked at some point in the same year, I think it's one of the 7 signs. That's 5 football schools with 3 not named Kentucky or Florida from a football conference

Do you have an espn account? First you would need to set up an espn account, with whatever username and password, then go to link which would lead you right to the group, and then you can use your realgm username as the name of your entry. My espn username is bwgood77 and my entry just defaulted to the entry name bwgood77 1...though I could have changed my entry name to match my realgm user profile name if my espn username was not bwgood77.

Hope that makes sense.

I'll give it a try. I'm not sure if I have an ESPN account if not I'll set one up in login and then go from there. Thanks for the quick response.
