Bracketology Contest

By Nate Noy

Here's the idea: Grade the projected brackets of Jerry Palm of CBS, Joe Lunardi of ESPN, and Nate Noy of FDH. Note: I wanted to get this up before the selections are set so I am not accused of creating a scoring system that favors anyone going into the proceedings.

Scoring system is simple:
Correct seed: 0 points
Missed team: -5 points
Missed seed: -1 for every line you are off

Person with the least negative score wins.

Here are the seeds as of 2pm today:

The first # is my seed, the second is Palm's the last Lunardi's.
