So basically I entered my friends NCAA pool where you fill out a bracket and I know nothing about sports.

Is there any problem simply filling it out with the higher seed always winning?

And if I decide not to go with route A, does anyone have a bracket they can let me copy?

12 seed over 5 somewhere in you're bracket. UTEP is a good one to pick for an upset this year

Thats like saying theres no point in picking 123456 for the lottery because it has never happened before.  But it has the same chance of happening as any other six digit number.

So basically theres no real reason

pick kansas or kentucky to win it and your good. Duke sucks give them a round of 2. And west virginia is on fire so they will go pretty far.

umm yeah usually its a bad idea. Think about the superbowl.

As for upsets, I had Minnesota beat Xavier just for some home state lovin, Notre Dame beat Villanova, and Ohio State in it to win it.

this should be a good year to pick some upsets.  i have both UTEP and Cornell making it to the sweet sixteen as 12 seeds.  also 13 siena over 4 purdue is a popular pick with purdue's star player done for the year

Can't believe Syracuse lost. Painful. Huskies... that was expected. With one upset in the books today, I bet Cornell crumbles. My bracket has been super fucked all along, which is fun.
