Title: Nurse Sharks vs Cows, Earwigs vs Platypuses. WSJ Blind Brackets. Cool

Pick your brackets without knowing the team names, but based on ratings.  Wall Street Journal.  Cool way of doing it.

Interesting.  I've got the Warriors losing to Missouri and my final four being:

I4, Mizzou, Vandy and Kansas.  KU over I4 for the final.

I had KU over I4 as well. Final Four was Murray St, Indiana, OSU and KU. Which one was Marquette?

Marquette
Kentucky
Kansas
Syracuse

Kansas over Kentucky.

I might have had an idea which one was us and given them a little boost. I can't stop myself.

I4
MSU
OSU
Georgetown

MSU over Georgetown in the final

MU losing to MSU in Elite Eight

I'd barf if three Big Ten teams made the Final Four.  Based on the results everyone is getting I'm thinking Crean rigged the rankings.  Overall I like the bracket though.  Except I have both games wrong already.

Didn't even know what that was.  They named us after this disgusting creature?
