The Bacon Explosion Bracket Challenge

Forget putting your money where your mouth is, this is about putting someone else’s bacon in your mouth.

The sports blog Intentional Foul has a Bacon Explosion Bracket Challenge. It’s your chance to turn your knowledge of college basketball into more than two pounds of free meat: The entrant with the most picks right for the upcoming NCAA tournament wins a Bacon Explosion.

One of the contestants you’ll be matched up against is Jason Day, the co-creator of the Bacon Explosion.

“Total homer picks,” Day says of his final four selections: Big 12 teams Kansas State, Kansas and Baylor, joined by West Virginia. “I’m hoping for a Bob Huggins reunion.”

So study the experts and pour over the teams. Even if there aren’t steaks involved, this is bacon we’re talking about here. 

“The Big 12 is tough, but I’m optimistic,” says Day.
