Do NOT follow this bracket

Since there's a chance I got a few games right, I'll post my predictions for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. You would be foolish to take any of this as gospel, as my bracket is usually in the circular file by the end of the first weekend.

I keep thinking I'm due. I keep thinking that I'll do well one year. In the event that this is the year, I need to make sure everyone sees the bracket before the tournament starts. If I end up stinking up the joint, as usual, just remember that I warned you. I stink at this. Unless you want to blow money, do not place money on this bracket.
