Watching those games is also great prep for picking winners. There are so many different criteria proposed by experts that they often contradict each other in the end. So go with your gut. Pick teams you root for to win, within reason, while predicting teams you don’t like to lose earlier than expected. (Duke has lost to a lower seed every year since 2004 hahaha).

...Asked about the challenge of running against the first major African-American candidate, Davis minimized the issue. "I don't think John McCain or our campaign would have conducted ourselves any other way regardless of who the opponent was," he said, appearing to contradict the assessment of the campaign's ad man, Fred Davis (no relation), who has described in other interviews an atmosphere of extreme caution over racial issues that hampered the campaign's message on topics like Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright...
