College Hoops Bracket Draft

It's that time of year again as FDH brings you our college hoops bracket draft.

First, here's the guidelines:
^ 2 points for an opening-round win
^ 4 points for a second-round win
^ 6 points for a third-round win
^ 8 points for a regional championship win
^ 10 points for winning a national semifinal game
^ 12 points for winning the national championship

Also, there are bonus points for having lower seeds win:
^ 2 points for each win by a team seeded 5th through 9th in a region
^ 5 points for each win by a team seeded 10th through 16th in a region

We recommend a six-team draft with a nine-round standard serpentine draft.
