When Bill Simmons Picked USC In His Final Four, We Should Have Known
3/21/08
It's taken me all of 12 hours into the NCAA Tournament to question a few picks I made, namely going against the highest tenet of bracket picking.
When everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, is jumping aboard a trendy team with clear flaws (see: USC) ALWAYS go the other way. Second to that principle, there's the Bill Simmons Rule. See middle-seed teams he really likes and pick them to lose in the first round.
Had I followed either of those two mandatory rules, I would have known Kansas State was going to upset the Trojans last night. Now I'm left with one less Sweet 16 teams, and many experts are left without an Elite Eight team after day one. Simmons, of course, is already one Final Four team down. Shocker.
