You know the best time of the year is almost upon when we put up our free printable NCAA brackets page. As usual, TeamRankings.com is your source for March Madness bracket sheets for the 2009 NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
We are offering three versions of our free printable tournament brackets in 2009:
- A free printable NCAA bracket in Adobe PDF format
- A blank March Madness bracket sheet in JPEG format
- An all-new Microsoft Excel NCAA bracket file you can save, print, and update yourself
While you’re loading up on free printable brackets, make sure to check out our 2009 NCAA bracket odds page too. We update our round-by-round survival odds at least once a week based on the latest game results and team power ratings, and there was a significant shift today. After losing to Maryland in overtime, North Carolina is no longer the top-odds favorite to win the NCAA championship.
Taking the top spot in NCAA tournament champion odds are the Pittsburgh Panthers, with 21.3% odds to win it all in April. The Tar Heels are still close behind with 17.7% champion odds.
Want to know where your team stands? Check out 2009 NCAA bracket odds for all of our projected NCAA tournament teams. And stay tuned for more exciting announcements as the 2009 NCAA tournament inches closer…

Why are all the stats not showing up? It would be nice to be able to see PPG, PAPG, etc before the tournament.
Jeremy – we did have an issue with the stats updating on Monday due to our server load. Everything is updated now and will continue to be for the rest of the tournament.
Thanks,

The east region shows, but the other 3-regions won’t open on the bracket odds. When is this going to be fixed?

We will also be releasing round-by-round upsets and other content as the tournament progresses. There will be a Tournament Blog section on the Bracket Brains site.
your data sucks and your service is a joke
We, of course, respectively disagree.
We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with this year’s BracketBrains. The vast majority of our customers understand that, like a doctor or a financial advisor, we are selling analysis here. We’re using all the data and tools we have at our disposal to try and predict the future as best we can.
If we built a supercomputer that could predict the future with 90% certainty, then we definitely wouldn’t be selling you our picks on the Internet. Again, most of our users understand this concept.
If you are using our straight 2009 bracket picks, then chances are you are not winning your pool this year. However, the fact remains that the long-term, multi-year performance of BracketBrains is still strong. Last year, for example, our analysis got every game right from the final four onward. Here’s how we stacked up against some names you might recognize: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pW0RFIe1-EaR3_oAZZBwcCQ
Do we think that’s going to happen every year? Of course not. Nor do we promise it. But over the years, on average, we’ve helped a lot of folks do better than they usually do. Whether what we offer is worth the price to you is for you to decide.
If you feel let down by BracketBrains and regret buying it, so be it. We certainly understand the high expectations some people have for the product — we have high expectations for it too.
But please recognize that if you are buying BracketBrains expecting a set of bracket picks that will win you a top prize in a bracket pool every year (or even most years) or you’ll think it’s a waste of money, that’s a tall order that we — nor anyone else in the world — will never be able to fill.
