I'm in!
My "grad success rate" bracket has winner based on GSR. First tie-breaker is APR. Final tie-breaker is admissions rate (didn't have any other stats handy :-).
Notable matchups:
16 seed South Dakota State beats 1 seed Gonzaga in the first round 91-90
Princeton and Notre Dame both have GSRs of 100; Princeton edges them out on APR 978-974
Winthrop and Butler both have GSRs of 100; Butler has the edge on APR 974-966
Bucknell edges Duke in the semi-final. Both have GSRs of 100, but Bucknell has the APR edge 1000-995

Thanks for doing this, Robbie!
I went for the "even a blind squirrel" method for selecting my brackets. Don't judge. 8)

I suspect I may have done better with an autopicked bracket, but here I am in the middle of the pack :)Â My work bracket was autopicked--I'm probably doing okay there...

I was so pleased to be tied for 7th in the women's bracket... until I looked down and saw only 2 brackets below me. :'(
;D 8) :P

I also appreciate in the women's group that everyone picked either us or the overwhelming favorite UConn to win the tournament. If the team that has won 109 games in a row and counting won't win it, it might as well be us!

Good to see us still alive!
Imagine the story lines if it's a Stanford vs. UConn final. Stanford was the last team to beat UConn, both teams feature a Samuelson sister, Geno chasing Tara to get 1000 wins...

Final outcome:
Brannerite wins the men's group. Three people correctly chose the champion - but Brannerite got both of the finalists, although he thought Gonzaga would pull in the championship.
I won the women's group. I got all four of the Final Four correct - but I (like most of us) thought UConn was unstoppable.
