One Fan's Selection Sunday Revealing of NCAA Tournament
I'm just going to make an easy slide presentation with my brackets. This mostly goes with top seeds as I didn't get into the whole science of bracketology. This also comes with much deliberation and most guesses on teams I know very little to nothing about. There are no predictions on winners. I also have another article written where all the NCAA officials were selected. After filling out brackets, I will assign all the officials accordingly and see how accurate I am with that as well.

Again, my brackets are far from perfect or even in conformity with Selection Committee rules. It is just my bracket that I made up with some thought. So it can be easily criticized. A little help for my readers—I correctly predicted Duke winning the Championship last year. While I am not making any predictions until I release my bracket, I will be curious to see how close I come to the actual bracket.
