A collection of the most creative, funny and clever bracket names to use in your NCAA tournament pool.
For my money, it doesn’t get any better than March Madness. The Super Bowl is obviously a phenomenon, the Masters is an event unlike any other and the Kentucky Derby is the ultimate high-stakes sprint.
But for as great as those events (and all the others in American sports) are, they’re simply not the NCAA tournament.
March Madness is aptly named, as the tournament brings chaos in all forms. It shuts down school and work productivity. It routinely provides a sustained level of drama that you don’t get in most places. And it brings together groups of fans, friends and coworkers as they participate in bracket pools.
Sometimes just for fun, sometimes for some cold, hard cash, bracket pools are one of the most fun elements of the NCAA tournament. But of course you don’t want to just slap your name on “Bracket” and submit it.
You want some style. Pizzazz. Some extra fun and flare.
Perhaps these name suggestions will help you out.
