can't figure out the goddamned bracket...

we're big college basketball fans around here at the Cream of Broccoli Radio Hour and this week is like Christmas for us. but we've just spent the last half an hour trying to figure out the bracket and are having no luck, even though the wife will tell you we watched too much college basketball this season. all i know is this:

• Air Force doesn't belong. Expect them to get run out of the building by Illinois.
• It looks like there might not be a 12 over a 5 stunner this year, but if i had to put money on it, take Texas A&M over Syracuse. i don't think the Orange are going to have anything in the tank after this past week, and giving them a 5 seed is generous at best.
• the selection committee is smoking crack if they think including Air Force and Utah State made more sense than having Cincinnati or Michigan in the tournament (and i HATE Michigan.) Even Hofstra--at least they managed to beat someone this year.
• Expect me to crumple up my bracket and throw it away after the first half day of games...i guarantee the games will fall in a way that will fuck it up for me.
