Complete NCAA Tourney Schedule: Tuesday-Friday (Featuring BOLD GBH PREDICTIONS)

Wanna know how/where/when to watch everything? We've got you covered, with some extra Internet panache thrown in for good measure.

USA TODAY Sports

I don't understand much about college hoops, like how there are teams seeded the same playing each other, the creative and historic mascots, and the lack of quarters. My bracketology is even less scientific than Hypno-Toad's, but that's not gonna stop me from throwing out some extra bold takes, because I'm afraid I've been temporarily infected with the March Madness. And what else is a blogger to do?

DOC'S HOT PICKS:

#11 Tennessee vs. #11 Iowa. I call this one LET'S SLAM FRAN AND GET HIM CANNED as the Vols pick up where their footballing compatriots left off after the 2005 Cotton Bowl and humiliate an under-performing team coached by a guy named "Fran" what a crazy name.

FINAL: 127-54 TENNESSEE S-E-C

#6 Baylor vs. #11 Nebraska. Is this basketball? Are they in the same conference? What year is it? All important questions that do not figure into my decision: Nebraska by 7 in the upset because Baylor has become a bit too confident of late. "NEBRASKETBALL, BAYBEE!" says Dick Vitale, probably, at some point.

FINAL: 49-42 HUSKERS

#8 Kentucky vs. #9 Kansas State. This will be the greatest game in the tournament this year: two traditional powers scrapping for respect in a game that will go down lovingly known by witty sportscasters as the "WILDEST WILCAT WILDCARD WILDNESS EVER...in St. Louis." My prediction? Kentucky in a close one because K-State tends to choke in St. Louis, AMIRITE?

FINAL: 51-45 Kentucky in 3OT.

#1 Florida vs. some other school probably smaller than your high school. A #1 seed has only lost like once in 88,000 tries so this answer is obvious even though we don't know who their opponent is. Yawn.

FINAL: 162-25 Gators

#7 Texas vs. #10 Arizona State. Rick Barnes is your Big 12 Coach of the Year and yet I have withdrawn his name for consideration in winning this game. Arizona State in the barely-upset because PAC-12 basketball is known for...doing something really well that will translate into a slight technical advantage and give them just enough of an edge to get the win.

FINAL: 52-47 Sun Devils

Plenty of other great matchups, so please share your crazy predictions with us!
