Not satisfied with simply being wrong about one thing (the traditional "Here's Who's Going to Win the National Championship" pick), Joe Lunardi has decided to be wrong about at least sixty-five things:

Is there anything more idiotic than laying out an entire bracket in fucking November? You could lay out a potential bracket two minutes before the "Selection Show" and still be wrong about like half the teams and seeds. But in November, you could be wrong about fucking near everything.
Not that I haven't already spent two hours looking at and analyzing this, of course. UCLA as a preseason #1 seed after losing three starters including their only low-post scorer? Florida as a #2 seed after not even making the tournament last year? UConn as a #1 after getting bounced by fucking San Diego in the first round last year? Iffy, iffy stuff. I don't remember if Lunardi personally was involved in this, but two years ago Washington started the season off ranked in the top 20 and was a trendy "sleeper" pick to advance deep into the NCAA Tournament...and then they went 8-10 in Pac-10 play and missed it altogether. It's hard enough to pick one team in the preseason that will win the tournament, much less the 65 teams (as well as their exact seeds) that will actually get to the fucking thing.
I guess that kind of thinking is why Joe Lunardi makes like a kerjillion dollars a minute working at ESPN.com while I make seven dollars an hour (before taxes) working a tech support job at my university. Don't miss my next post: I pick every college football bowl game exactly, down to the score, the time of possession, the number of rushing yards, and the amount of bored fans in attendance praying for a playoff system. Bold predictions for everybody!
