Originally, I had planned on picking four games this weekend, however with the NCAA tournament coming next week, like all major handicappers - I needed to focus on getting ready for the 2nd greatest tournament in the world - after the Westminster Dog Show. Planning includes a grooming (happened yesterday), downloading and resizing logos for all 65 teams (some I have already, some I don't - Cleveland State), and of course extra sleep - what all good Poodle handicappers need before major sporting events.
How My NCAA Tournament Picks Will Work:I will attempt to pick a full bracket. This will be done of the course of several days. Each round and each bracket region will be a separate video. So for example: There will be a Round 1 - East (Boston Regional) Philadelphia Games, Boise Games, Minneapolis Games, Greensboro Games all in one Video. Round 2: New Video and so forth with each pick right after each other. It will take time.
The picks themselves. In order to ensure a level field since it is so large, not all teams are equal and I don't pick a 16 vs 16 seed in the final four... the food bowls will be
scaled based on ranking. So if your a 1-4 seed a large bowl will be used, 5-8 slightly smaller medium size bowl, 9-12 a ramekins and 13-16 a bathroom cup. The possibility of an upset exists but the chance of it happening are diminished by size of the bowl. No different then the NBA draft lottery where worse team get more pin-ping balls but not necessarily the first pick in the draft.
You can have the opportunity to pick against me at the follow Bracket Challenge by clicking

No prize will be given this year as our presenting sponsor is still waiting for their bailout check from the government to clear the bank - who is also waiting for their bailout check - its rather complicated. Hopefully, next year the economy will improve - might have to do a PoodlePick on that predication. Send me and email
