The Picks

OK, as promised, here are my picks. I didn't pick the play-in game, since I didn't even know that Oakland was in Michigan, and I still don't know who won. ( Oh.) It doesn't matter anyway.

I was going to put these in bracket form, but that's too hard for me to do in HTML, so I'll just list the winners of each round. If you want to fill it into a bracket see CBS's form. Note that I have no clue whose going to win, these are just picks taken from what little I know of each team coupled with a bit of hope and some historical necessities. If you use these picks for your pool you are in big, big trouble.

And with that, here we go:

Next week I'm going to be at the ever-popular American Physical Society March Meeting in beautiful downtown Los Angeles. (Didn't know there was one, did you?) If Internet access doesn't cost an arm and a leg I'll post something about the meeting and the, ahem, sights. If not, see you in a week or so.
