Composite: Pick Your Poison - 8 Brackets Based on 8 Criteria as a Final Wrap

The following are the summaries of the eight brackets we gave you to choose from and adjust, with the predicting Final 4 in the Headline of each: 

Bracket 1 - Healthy / No Injuries - Duke beats Florida for Title (FF, Auburn & Houston)

Bracket 2 - Injuries Take Toll - Tennessee beats Auburn for Title (FF Alabama & St.John's)

Bracket 3 - PGs Take Over - Houston Beats Florida for Title (Wisconsin and Marquette Final 4)

Bracket 4 - Hottest Teams - Florida over Duke for Title (FF Auburn and Houston)

Bracket 5 - Non-Conference Rankings - Auburn over Duke (FF Connecticut and Kentucky)

Bracket 6 - Great Coaches Win Titles - St. John's over Houston (FF Michigan St and Oregon)

Bracket 7 - Top 25 Defense and Top 40 Offense in KenPom - Florida beats Duke (FF Houston and Auburn)

Bracket 8 – Subjective bracket at the bottom of this final post before brackets close


If you want to fill out a bracket real quick, just pick a column for a given approach, and put the team on that many lines as winning that game. So if you want to go with assuming injured players overall will be fine, then put Auburn on 4 lines as a Final 4 team in the first column. If you want to assume the injuries reported will at least slow key players down for other teams, then put Auburn down for five wins or a National Runner-up. if you want to skip ahead toe pick the teams who did the best in Non-Conference games - since almost all NCAA tournament games are non-conference, you would slide over to Column 5 and see that Auburn should win all six to be national champs.

This is our last post on proposed brackets. We will post the ESPN ratings to see which of these brakcets do the best.








The following is our 8th and final bracket, a subjective one where I look over what each of the other seven brackets forecast, then go with my gut on how games will go.
