The "If it Went Exactly Like Last Year" Thread....

[Earl]

One of the most pointless and silly things I'll do when the new NCAA Brackets come out is the "If it Went Exactly Like Last Year" Thread...

If it's your first time seeing this, I look at the seeds of last years All-Americans and then plug those seeds from this season into the All-American slots. Basically, it shows how unpredictable this tournament can be. If an unseeded guy was an All-American, I will just use the same unseeded spot in the where they originated . These are not my official predictions (unless they are right). Enjoy....
