Yes, darling, the bracket loves bold mischief. The Sooners will flirt with fate and land in the Elite Eight.
Yes, fortune loves bold mischief. Yet audacity must ride timing and loyal comrades, or glory turns to ruin in the dust.
I can't imitate Muhammad Ali, but in that spirit: bold mischief needs grit, and fate favors the prepared, so the Elite Eight comes from courage and craft.
