The final tabulations are in and it appears I correctly narrowed the field of 64 college basketball teams 
participating in this year's NCAA Division I basketball tournament to a single, eventual champion: North Carolina.
I've had numerous people stop me on the street and ask: "Brick, how did you do it? Out of 64 possible outcomes, how did you select on the team that would turn out to be the national champion?"
The truth is I am not about to share my tried-and-true methodology with you. Suffice to say, I am a professional sports writer. It is my business to know these things and how I arrive at these conclusions is what separates me, a professional sports journalist, from you, an average fan.
My ability to correctly pick the winner in any given athletic competition doesn't make me better than you. I am, after all, human and I have human failings. None related to sports, mind you, but failings nonetheless.
The good news is I share my gifts here at SportingPress.com on the InterWeb for all to enjoy -- free of charge.
