- March Madness is here, and that means it's time to fill out brackets.

March Madness is here!
With the NCAA Tournament bracket now official, it's time to start filling out brackets, picking winners, and most importantly, taking a stab at upsets.
Picking upsets is not an exact science. Sometimes wins can be flukey and sometimes they happen to teams nobody expected. Usually, however, the best method is to find top-ranked teams who seem vulnerable and are playing strong, lower-ranked teams who enter the tournament on a high note.
We surveyed the upset picks and brackets of several college basketball experts and picked seven upset picks that kept coming up. The experts included: Seth Walder and John Gassaway of ESPN; Sports Illustrated's college basketball staff; Henry Bushnell, Jeff Eisenberg, and Jason Owens of Yahoo; Alex Kirsher of SB Nation; Bill Bender of Sporting News; Jeff Greer of The Athletic; and Seth Davis of The Athletic.
