The Today Show Final Four

This morning, Richard Sandomir and Mark Reiter were on the show to talk about their new book, "The Final Four of Everything".

The two write: "The bracket is a unique way of organzing information that dates back to rise of the knockout (or single elimination) tournament, perhaps in medieval times...You, of course, may be familiar with the bracket format via the NCAA basketball tournament pairings each March...We take the idea one step further and apply this knockout format to every category but basketball."

They built a site to accompany the release of the book where you can go and build your own brackets.

To have a little fun, we built the following bracket. Who is your pick to come out on top?

Always looking for the best thing since sliced bread and today this is it! LOL
Fantastic idea! Flipped through the book on Amazon and the pages I looked over made me want to get the book.
