Once again, it’s time for Raymond to come up with an absurd<\/a>, arbitrary<\/a> criterion for filling out his NCAA bracket.<\/p>\n

This year, the criterion is the school’s graduation rate for basketball players. Lower graduation rate wins. However, if the teams are seeded 11 or more positions apart, I’ll give the win to the favorite (just to get rid of highly unlikely upsets<\/a>). <\/p>\n
