Day 2 Locks for 2008 NCAA March Madness

March 21, 2008

Below are our Day 2 picks for the 2008 NCAA Tourney. These picks do come with a guarantee for any of the games that are predicted correctly.

Our 2008 NCAA picks are based on indexation and how well Google sees each school's site. Which school has more site links? If this is a tie, which school has its Athletic Department showing in its sitelinks? If this is a tie, which school has more pages indexed relevant to its nickname? Assuming SEO Speedwagon were an accredited university that secured a bid via a last second win in its conference tournament, we would come to the Dance with 7 sitelinks, Athletic Department not present, and 133 relevant pages.
