85 Expansion March Madness Pool

In a year where three of the four #1 seeds lost their conference tournament, will we have our first back to back champion since the '06/'07 Florida Gators? Will St. Peter's be able to replicate any of their 2022 magic? 100% of champions since 1998 have been from the eastern half of the US, will we see Arizona or Gonzaga break that trend?

Take your best educated guess, or maybe just pick which colors you like, and enter the newly named "85 Expansion March Madness Pool". Why 85 expansion? Well, just like how the tournament expanded from 32 teams to 64 as we know it now (minus last 4 in for all those who want to get technical on me...), this bracket is now expanding as I moved on to bigger and better airports. Also, Villanova won in 1985, so an appropriate title for a bracket that I run. What can you expect? No differences- same write ups, same commentary, same fun, just all coming from my gmail instead.

$20 buy in- venmo only, again on account of the career move, unless someone wants to drive from LGA to Newark to drop it off to me. 

The bracket is attached, as always in excel to maximize participation, not everyone wants to create an account with a new password and more marketing emails from another website.

Best of luck to all, the deadline is Thursday at 12:15 PM, tip off of the first game. Last 4 in games don't count in the bracket, you get credit for either team if you want them to advance.

No worries if you are not interested, I will only email participants as of Thursday.

As I'm switching from work to personal, if you want to switch emails just let me know. Try not to reply all unless you're really funny (subject to my review).
