Regardless of how demented the NCAA tournament gets played out, one prediction holds true, year in and year out – bad predictions. Thankfully, most of them were spoken in hushed tones – I can’t even seem to track down who Dick Vitale picked.

However, with the Final Four set to tip in two days, the time to come clean is now.

I implore you, let’s hear the worst prediction you made this NCAA tournament. Here’s mine taken from my post: NCAA Tournament: The Regions in 100 Words or Less:

Cornell is not all they’re cracked up to be, and everyone should be considering Temple for the Sweet-16 rather than picking Cornell to upset, because Evan Rodriguez is the real deal and Ryan Wittman is just a garden-variety nerd.

Cornell of course were exactly what they were cracked up to be – many a non-genius picked them to go to the Sweet-16. And that nerd Wittman’s NCAA tourney showing included a 20 point showing in their win over Temple, and 24 in their win over Wisconsin. As for Evan Rodriguez, if you do a search, your more likely to find Chi Chi Rodriguez highlights during tournament week. I’d be lying if I said that prediction was based on more on basketball knowledge, and less on just trying to to be a contrarian.

For all others willing to swallow your pride, and cop to poor NCAA tourney conjectures, leave it in the comments below.

ESPN.com posted a breakdown of the percentage of people who picked each team to win in each round in their Tournament Challenge. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Of the 16 teams that advanced to the second week, here were the five teams that ESPN users lacked confidence in the most – because showing you that at least 92% thought that Kentucky would make it to Sweet-16 isn’t even interesting to John Calipari on his most narcissistic day.

Tennessee – 19.8%

Cornell – 11.3%

Washington – 8.8%

St. Mary’s – 3.7%

Northern Iowa – .9%

And just how damaging was that Kansas upset? 42% of ESPN’s brackets had them in the Championship game.
