The final stretch of college basketball is upon us as millions of Americans make their prognostications and fill out their bracket for their chance at glory and bragging rights.
As for me, there really isn’t anything scientific about my picks. No strategy, rhyme, or reason. I just pick a team and move on.
Last year, however, I was actually right as I picked my Florida Gators to go all the way, and they did!
The Florida Gators ended up beating Houston in a thriller to be reigned 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball National Champions, so of course I had to pick them to go back-to-back.
They did it in 2006 and 2007, so why not in 2026?
It’s obviously way to early to tell, but I’ll be happy if they make it to the sweet sixteen at least.
Check out my bracket below:
