Come on, you actually think a UCLA fan would pick his team to go out in the second round? Would Bill Simmons EVER pick the Red Sox or Patriots to lose in the first round of the playoffs, even if they were going up against the MLB/NFL equivalent of the 1998 New York Yankees/1985 Chicago Bears? No way. Hell, I should be getting lauded for "only" putting the Bruins in the Elite Eight; in a Yahoo! Bracket League with a fairly decent payout to the winner, my dad had UCLA winning the freaking national title. So all 4 of you who are planning on sending me taunting emails tomorrow...give me a break, you would have done the same thing.
PS: Yes, the rest of my picks are pretty lousy too. But, incredibly, I still have a good chance at winning one of my bracket leagues (where I was the only one to pick Louisville to win it all), a decent chance at winning a second one (where I was one of three people to pick Louisville to win it all, and the other two people did things like put West Virginia in the Elite Eight and Texas in the Final Four), and a just-okay chance at winning a third one (which has like 30 people in it, so my odds weren't that good from the beginning). So...go Cards?
