Way to go out on a limb there…
When it comes to March Madness, there are two different people, and I admit I’ve personally been on both sides here. When I was younger, I’d ride heavy with favorites and statistics, usually leading me to busted brackets. That’s one person. The other one is what I am now: Predicting upsets in the name of winning that pool money.
Jay Williams, a college basketball analyst for ESPN, made it loud and clear that he’s the first kind of person, doing so with one of the most laughable brackets I’ve ever seen. (RELATED: Florida’s Olivier Rioux Is So Tall He Pulled Championship Move With Absolute Ease)
ESPN didn’t reveal the entire bracket from Williams, however, they did show his Elite Eight predictions. And it literally features every single No. 1 seed in Auburn, Duke, Florida and Houston, and literally every No. 2 seed while at it: Tennessee, St. John’s, Michigan State and Alabama.
Talk about a hot take. (LMAO)

And Williams got absolutely cooked for it, as he should have:

And to those wondering, there’s no way in hell his bracket is happening … way too many upsets for that.
