The Chronicle's Bracket Challenge

Think you know more about college basketball than the Chronicle Sports staff? Convinced you know the upset specials in this year's bracket? Well, here's your chance to see how you stack up one-on-one with any of our writers.


If pure pride isn't enough to get you to follow this link to our ESPN-hosted contest, we're offering the winner the opportunity to write your own post for the blog, as blustery and blow-hardy as you see fit—just not offensive. You can even put your picture on it!


Chronicle staffers have won the previous two challenges, but we'd love some outside competition. Plus, rumor is that some secret prizes will be announced as the weeks go on. Plus, several of us will be previewing our picks over the next few days, giving you the chance to see our thoughts before finalizing your own.


As per ESPN's rules, all brackets must be finalized by the time Round 2 begins on Thursday. In the interest of full disclosure, we don't know anything more than you do about Kyrie's return. I plan on winning fair and square.


Here's a tip to get you started: UC Santa Barbara is dangerous, pick against them at your own risk.


Good luck, you'll need it.
