2008 March Madness - the REAL brackets

If the brackets were originally determined by that criteria, the final would be between Harvard (Bill Gates' school - even though he dropped out) and Oregon (Phil Knight's alma mater). Those two would probably skew the numbers enough.

They didn't teach me that at the Frankfort Undergraduate College of Kentucky. Good old FU....., well, never mind.

BTW - I wonder how hard it is to get into the on-line school from which my sister-in-law was able to obtain a PhD in theology for her dog? Now the dog is licensed to perform marriages here in Oregon! It's twue, it's twue.

Fixed it.

FWIW, on the women's side, no 15 seed has ever upset a 2.
