The best three weeks in sports are just around the corner.

Yes, that means that it is March Madness, and it is time to pretend you know what you do, even though you have not seen any college basketball leak all season and fill these brackets so that you can try to win some money and be the envy of your office colleagues and friends for a few seconds.

The 68-team men's field (for now) will send the fans through a roller coaster ride with emotions, but don't worry, with a few brain cells and a little luck, amateur clips will enjoy the fruits and hopefully win enough money to buy an additional value.

Here is our 2025 version of the attempt to help you fill your brackets for the best chances in the NCAA tournament for men in 2025 so that you are not fully laughed out of your office:

Outsiders rule the day

Last year they didn't even integrate Hardcore North Carolina State fans to go to the Final Four, and if they did it, they probably lie. Choose a lower seed in at least one bracket to make it to San Antonio, as there will be many agreement, especially on the first weekend.

Remember the lowest seed that has ever made it up to the Final Four is a number 11, and that only happened six times last year. LSU (1986), George Mason (2006), VCU (2011), Loyola Chicago (2018) and UCLA (2021) are the others. Be selective in relation to the outsider you choose so that you have a struggle chance to be alive in your pool. In the later rounds.

Coal … not smart

This tournament seems to be strong at two conferences: the Big Ten and Sec. Although the chances are better than most others, there is a good chance that at least one team of these leagues will make the last four, and it would not be a shock to see all four teams in the national semi -finals from these leagues.

In each of the last 11 tournaments, at least one No. 5 seed or lower reached the Final Four and only made the Final Four once all four No. 1 seeds. (2008: North Carolina, Ucla, Memphis and Kansas). In 2023, no. 1 seeds did the Final Four, but I don't bet this year. So go with chalk if you want, but you may fight for a lost fight.

If everything else fails, pray and choose blue

Millions of people will fill out their brackets, and it is okay not to know what to do, because frankly it should be fun. If you are on the unsuspecting side of things, go with mainly higher seeds and sprinkle a few disturbances to compensate for things.

For the others who take this stuff seriously, hopefully you have an idea of ​​how you have strategic to do to ensure that you don't lose your house, and secondly, you don't lose any other parts of the body.

And if everything else fails, the main thing that is repeated every year is a team that is connected to the color blue. In the past 20 years, Louisville in 2013 and Baylor in 2021 have been the only teams that fake the networks and reduced to “a bright moment” without being blue part of their primary color scheme for its uniforms.

Also remember that it is not a precise science to fill a piece of paper or make it online. Regardless of the amount of “experts” flatulence in this matter, nobody really knows what they do to hell.

Good luck and do not email me when your brackets are a dummy container fire before the first match day is over.
