Above is an instructional video about how to use the Bracket-O-Matic. The Bracket-O-Matic can be used by people who can insert their preferences and the program will fill your bracket out for you.

You have eight different sliders to adjust. They range from experience to coaching to ... yes ... even the mascots.

So, I decided to use it to see what I came up with. I like a dynasty school with some offensive firepower. They have to have some star power, upperclassman leadership and a veteran coach. I don't care about the mascot, but I do care if they are on the East coast (yes, a bias).

I compute and ... I get Notre Dame as my champion. Notre Dame? The rest of my Final Four looks doable (UCLA, Memphis and Wisconsin) but the Irish as champ? Heck, it has St. Joseph's as an Elite Eight team and Western Kentucky beating Drake and UConn.

I wouldn't bet on whatever you get here, but it is a pretty neat thing to try just to see where your preferences lead you.
