After the STUNNING success of the first round how could I not continue?

We're down to 16 horrible concepts, one of which will be the method I use to pick my March Madness brackets for 2009. Write your votes into the comments!

The matchups are:

(1) Coin Flip Drawn from a hat (2)
(16) Free throw percentage Three point percentage (18)
(24) My favorites Graduation rate of athletes (23)
(8) Women's tourney seed Merchandise sales (26)
(5) Mascot fight Cheerleader's uniforms (6)
(12) College Humor power ranking US News Academic Ranking (11)
(13) Famous alumni Tuition (14)
(4) Google fight Magic Eight Ball (3)

Wow, how's the bottom of half of your hat bracket going? Some pretty big upsets there. Let's see what upsets YOU bring to the table in Round 2! Last day of voting is the 22nd!

1) Coin flip (I've looked at a free throw percentage bracket and it isn't pretty. Cornell, anyone?

18) Three point percentage

14)Tuition

4) Google fight

12) College humor power ranking

11) US News academic ranking (inverse?)

24) My favorites

26) Merchandise sales

As for the first round, I usually do better in the actual tournament, and I am oddly disappointed by that.

See your comment about the FT% bracket is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Cornell winning it all, awesome! But it's not about the champion, it's about the suprises (non-upsets?) that occur! Once again, thanks for playing!

Correction: Indiana beats Cornell in the championship game. They have the same FT% (76.3), but Indian gets the nod on total number made.

I had not decided on a tie breaker for that method yet! Yes I did think about how some of these would need tie-breakers and/or secondary and tertiary methods to work through a whole bracket.

The championship game was the only place it was needed. I thought total FTs made was the logical choice, and easy to find.

(1) Coin flip

(18) 3 point % (24) My favorites (23) Graduation rate (6) Cheerleaders uniform (5) Mascot fight (4) Google fight (3) Magic Eight Ball

I almost read (14) tuition as intuition -- I usually pick on that since I don't watch a ton but a good amount of games.. I just go by the gut.

Did you see the video of the guy that took his bracket to a shooting range? Brilliant! He was a bad aim too, it was pretty funny.
