The Coin Toss Bracket
It’s NCAA Tournament time again! And I present to you my annual coin-toss bracket for the men’s tournament. Every game decided by the toss of a coin. In most cases, more than one toss. Here’s how it works:
- In the first round, the #1 seed automatically advances. No coin toss. I know a 16 seed has one twice now just in the past few years. But it’s still incredibly unlikely, and I don’t want to torpedo the bracket in the first round.
- For the rest of the games, the winner is decided by a toss, or series of tosses. The favored team is heads, the underdog is tails. However, in order for the underdog to advance, tails must come up TWICE before a toss of heads.
- The exception to rule 2 is if the teams are one seed apart, (like the 8/9 games), or share the same seed. Then it’s just one toss to decide the winner.
And that’s it! This bracket has never done very well in years past. But this just might be the year. Sure, BYU in the Final 4 might be a stretch. But stranger things have happened. Good luck with your brackets everyone! Let’s go Vols!! -Nick
