I use to pick teams that made big runs in their conference tourney, cause they're usually hot at the time. However, that can back fire a lot. Because some of those teams are burned out. See Iowa State.

There is no system that works year to year for upsets. It's almost completely random.

I pick early upsets against teams that I think just aren't good enough to make the elite 8.

Don't pick Villanova

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I do my bracket inside out and pick low seeds that I think are not going to the sweet 16 to get upset.  If I don't think the high seed will win the pod I usually don't pick them to win the first game because why bother? This usually leads to poor scores in the round of 64 but like in our contest this season I have a very high points possible beyond the round of 64

Wut? I couldn't have been the only person that got a notification from the ESPN bracket app this afternoon that stated the only perfect bracket picked Duke to win the championship.

He picked Duke to beat KU in the championship, 58-0 or something like that.

Wow. I can't believe I was considering your strategy to pick my bracket next year. Then I read this and have to say I am going to do the opposite.

You should never fill out more than one bracket.
