The NCAA tourney starts the day after tomorrow and people everywhere are filling out their brackets.
If you'd like to do something a little different, try my "Sweet 16" game we've been playing the last few years. Instead of just filling out a bracket, we pick the best sixteen teams in the tournament and rank them best to worst. The best team will get 16 points for each win, the second team will get 15 points and so on until you get to the 16th team which gets one point per win. If you put them in the correct order, your maximum score would be 477 points.
Last year Zach B. won with 434 points. He had Florida and Ohio St. in his top four and each of the Final Four teams in his top six. Let's see you do that again, Zach!
If you want to play along, just post your list of of sixteen, in order, in the comments section and I'll keep a running tally as we go along. The cutoff is Thursday morning.
Oh, and what does the winner get? The satisfaction of a job well done.
