  At what point is Lunardi no longer a "bracketologist" haha. He had epically bad picks last year. He was in the bottom 3-4 percentile of all brackets filled out.

  His job as a "bracketologist" is not to fill out the brackets, rather to predict what they will look like...and he does a pretty damn good job from what I remember reading about his accuracy.

  Also, Louisville in the Sweet Sixteen then either BYU or ND in the Elite 8? Lol I wish that were real

  Duke as a 2 playing in the Big East tournament it seems.......ugh.
  
  I would like to think Duke drops one more game, finishes with just three losses while other conferences beat their teams up (i.e. Big East has Pitt who will lose two maybe three times more)
  Kansas loses at Mizzou to end season, Texas finishes out reg season with W's, OSU loses once, and the top four seeds are OSU, KU, Texas, Duke with Big East champ playing in Duke bracket as well as Mizzou. OSU gets BYU or SDSU with KU getting Kentucky, and Texas with Pitt and Nova.

  ehh I mean it really wouldn't be that difficult to be a "bracketologist." Most people who follow basketball are already aware of who is probably going to make it and who is not. If you call yourself a bracketologist, you should at least get more correct than my grandma does

  The Big East will not have that many teams in the sweet 16. What a freaking joke. And Duke, really? No, they will lose in the round of 32.

  REALLY doubt BYU goes to the sweet 16

  Duke will somehow make the Sweet 16, but I hope you are right that they will lose in the round of 32. Also I think the Big East will get 5 teams into the Sweet 16
