If winning a few bucks and bragging rights by crushing coworkers in the office bracket pool doesn't get your blood pumping like it used to, take your handicapping skills to the next level, and win yourself a trip to Vegas.

A couple of buddies of mine are launching a new site this month, EdgeXD.com (more on that once it launches), and as part of the promo they're holding a contest BracketologyXD.

The winning bracket scores the Grand Prize trip for two to Vegas, including airfare, hotel and some cash for spreading around the tables. You also get a private pool side meet and greet with Heather Vandeven, the 2007 Penthouse Pet of the Year. (And I hear she digs college hoops gurus.)

To get in on it, all you need to do is fill out your brackets here. And if you need some help on your picks, they've enlisted their Chief Bracketologist, the lovely Vendula (wearing a lab coat that inexplicably stays on the whole time), to assist you. I can't understand a word she says, but that hasn't stopped me from watching it four times.
