A blind hog could have picked a better bracket than I.

I just need Nova to win out & I got this.

ETA: Nvm, looks like the best I can hope for is 2nd.

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. My entry in this group was about 500,000 worldwide and my other entry was around rank 12M. I don't know how many brackets were actually made, but assuming it's only 12M (which it certainly isn't) that puts my bracket in this group in the top 4% of all brackets (500K/12M) which means your's has to be at least marginally better than that. That's not awful.

I finished 100% overall on ESPN. Had UM and Nova in the finals and picked Nova. Still finished 81k overall.

Crap ton of entries this year. I don't like the 25 bracket allowance on ESPN.

Wouldnt mind doing a group next year that doesnt weight picking the winner so enormously high over picking the first few rounds right.

Likely going to try a scoring format next year where 1st rounds are worth 1 point, 2nd round worth 2, 3rd round 3 points, etc. all the way to the championship winner being worth 6 points.

Not sure how it work but will try it.

I'm in.

Espn's continued expansion of simple, fun fantasy platforms to the masses to draw views, and inflate viewer/participant numbers is ridiculous.

25 brackets per email address, when they can be auto filled by ESPN, is asinine.

It's like Quick Pick lottery winners. No strategy, just dumb luck that erodes the more avid sports fans' success.

Espn has lost its base and gone astray. They should reduce coverage and redundant fluff. Get back to basics of quality SPORTS coverage. No politics, no platform pushing, no forced agendas. Just sports coverage with a bit of flavor/humor aimed at the sports fan.
