Go ahead and laugh at my 2016 CBSSports.com/Infiniti Bracket Challenge March Madness bracket:

In the past I have tried to figure out a system for March Madness. One year I spent valuable time figuring out Net Efficiency — efficiency on offense and defense. That system worked as well as throwing darts on a dartboard, putting two bowls of food (each representing a team) for your dog to choose, etc. For one thing, the most offensively efficient team is St. Mary’s of California, which is not in the tournament. The second most offensively efficient team is Indiana, but Indiana is coached by Tom Crean, and you should never pick a Tom Crean-coached team.

The only thing that comes to mind out of this bracket is that my Final Four picks accidentally fit the Blue Rule — that is, picking blue teams, because the biggest historic NCAA powers — Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, UCLA, etc. — wear blue. I also routinely refuse to pick Big Ten teams to go far, and indeed I have picked three Atlantic Coast Conference teams to go to the Final Four, because the ACC is to basketball what the Southeastern Conference is to football.

Frankly, it’s a boring field, with three number one seeds going to the Final Four. Since I’ve been busy with sports of my own, I have not really followed NCAA basketball that much except for Wisconsin …

… and apparently I have them going to the Sweet 16, largely because of my feeling that when you have a non-traditional power with a high seed, that is a ripe situation for an upset. But it’s only a feeling.
