If you have a little trouble filling out your NCAA tournament brackets because you know nothing about the teams, an arbitrary system will do -like picking winners based on team mascots. InsideHook has a system of ranking athletic team mascots that will help you decide which is the better school in any matchup. At the site, you'll find explanations for each relationship in this chart. Link -via Laughing Squid
