When it comes to picking winners in NCAA bracket challenges, everyone has their systems. From scientific to personal preference, everyone can be a March Madness expert, at least until the games get started. But for one local kid -- and a famous one, at that -- the method of choosing mascots has worked so far in this year's ESPN bracket challenge. Matt Hasselbeck's son, at nine years old, currently has the 103rd-best bracket in the challenge, all because of his not-so-unique, or scientific, prediction method.

Just goes to show when it comes to making bracket picks, maybe more information isn't better. Hasselbeck probably should've entered his son's bracket in whatever pool he may be involved in.
