Since no one else has started this yet, here is the 2010 NCAA Prediction Contest. FlashMan was the winner of last year's contest. The scoring will be the same as last year: First Round..............1 Point (16) Second Round..........2 Points (32) Third Round.............4 Points (32) Quarterfinals............8 Points (32) Semi-finals.............12 Points (24) Championship.........24 Points (24) We don't have a bracket from GoCourage yet so I'll just post the teams and you can make your own bracket. If a bracket is added, I or someone else will post a link. Here is the 2010 NCAA Bracket for reference. Picks must be submitted by kickoff of the first match on Thursday or you will be denied entry. bravessoccer has volunteered to do the scoring.

You may want to revisit your second and third round picks as it's either Sac State or UCLA. I believe you mean UCLA as your choice in the second round is Sac State yet you have UCLA winning the third.

Actually, he'll need to go back to the first round, where he has Santa Clara beating Sac. St. IASocFan, I'll assume UCLA in the second round since you have them advancing to the final 8. When you get a chance, clarify who you're picking in the Sac. St./Santa Clara match.

1st Round Coll of Char Providence Monmouth Santa Clara Creighton Princeton Michigan St. Georgetown Xavier Tulsa Boston College UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) Duke UCF Virginia Penn 2nd Round Louisville Ohio St. Notre Dame UCLA Creighton William & Mary Butler North Carolina Akron Indiana Connecticut UCSB South Carolina Michigan Penn St. Maryland Sweet 16 Louisville UCLA Creighton Butler Akron UCSB Michigan Maryland Elite 8 Louisville Butler UCSB Maryland Louisville UCSB UCSB Really tough call on Akron or UCSB, but with the extended schedule, I'm projecting whoever wins that region wins it all. I'm expecting that is probably Akron, just can't bring myself to project against UCSB (Come on Gauchos, prove me right, lol ) Also came really close to predicting Michigan over Maryland, but can't really have a college cup without at least one ACC school, right?
