This will come as a shock to many of you, but when we were in middle school, we were … how shall we put this … nerds. We programmed games on our TI-85. We were on the Geography team. We lost the only fight we were in. (In our defense, that guy is now a captain in the Air Force. But still.)

There but for the grace of God (and failure to master game theory at age 12) go we …

But we digress. The NCAA Tournament was the proverbial pork chop around our neck – running pools was pretty much the only way to get the cool kids to talk to us. We sat in class and drew hundreds of brackets from memory so that our classmates could submit as many brackets as they wanted. (Photocopiers and rural middle school didn’t mix.) And for ourselves, we would fill out dozens of iterations of our own picks, because we were somehow more indecisive then than we are now.

So it is with great pleasure that we received a link to the super-fantastic-awesome Dream Tournament from Ed at National Sports Rankings. Click through and simulate the tournament (using the current ESPN Bracketology projected field) to your heart’s delight – the replay button is at the bottom of the page. Oral Roberts in the Elite Eight? Possibility! Brigham Young playing for the title? Possibility! Arizona, #10 seed and champion? Possibility! Carolina losing in the second round to Baylor? FUCK YES.
