Nickelback unveils full March Madness bracket, complete with SEC team winning title

Nickelback is getting into the full March Madness fun this year, in spite of the popular rock band’s Canadian roots. It just goes to show the reach of bracket mania, and Nickelback’s selections will have top seeds feeling like a rockstar.

While lower-seeded teams will try to burn it to the ground against power conference foes in March, Nickelback has an Elite Eight consisting of every 1 and 2-seed in the entire country. Those picks will have SEC basketball teams Auburn, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama feeling like a hero heading into the next go round while the Cinderella hopefuls will be wondering if anyone is out there savin’ me.

As for the Final Four, Nickelback has Florida advancing to the semifinals to face the next contestant Michigan State. The Spartans advance after knocking off Auburn, leaving the Tigers far away from achieving their biggest goal of the season.

In the finals, the Gators get a title game full of animals after the Houston Cougars knock off Duke in the semifinals. Nickelback has Florida cutting down the nets and winning at all in that match, letting Gator fans reflect on how you remind me of the 2007 season, the last time Florida won it all.

Overall, the rock band only has 3 double-digit seeds carving out wins: 11-seed Drake (over Mizzou), 10-seed Arkansas (over Kansas) and 13-seed Grand Canyon (over) Maryland. Here’s the full photograph of Nickelback’s bracket from start to finish:
