Your odds of getting a perfect March Madness bracket are impossible: one in 9.2 quintillion. So, might as well have fun with it. Here are some ideas to shake up your usual strategies:
1. Pick based on Favorite Team Logo / Name / Colors
To be really low maintenance about this strategy, choose a bracket that comes with the team name or logo printed on it.
2. Pick based on your Zodiac sign
I'm not totally sure how this works yet, but I like the theory of it. There's something that feels predestined about following the stars with your choices.
3. Pick based on where you'd rather travel.
Personally, I'd like to get to some warm weather, so I'd take a Florida school all the way.
4. Pick based on which State food you'd rather eat.
As a fan of some finger lickin' fried chicken, I might choose Kentucky to win big.
5. Pick based on a hypothetical battle of mascots.
Would a wolverine beat a blue devil? If so, take Michigan over Duke.
6. Pick based on betting odds.
This is a bit of a boring strategy, but it's probably a more sure one, especially for the first round. The bookies don't like to lose, so follow their lead.
