Sydney Thomas, a popular social media influencer and Alabama student, has shared her bold March Madness bracket for the NCAA men’s tournament. Thomas, who went viral during the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight, has gained a large following, but not all fans are on board. Some have criticized her bracket picks and questioned her sports knowledge, but Thomas remains confident in her predictions.

Thomas revealed her bracket on Wednesday, submitting it on the NCAA’s official website just before the first-round games tipped off. Considering she’s a student there, it’s no surprise she picked Alabama to win it all.
Alabama is the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Bracket, and it’s easy to see why. The Crimson Tide have been consistent all season, with Mark Sears leading the way, averaging 18.7 points and 4.9 assists per game.
Thomas’s Final Four picks reflect her Alabama loyalty. She has the Tide knocking off No. 1 seed Houston and Missouri pulling off a win over No. 2 Michigan State. Ultimately, Thomas has Alabama topping Missouri to claim the national championship. Surprisingly, she has No. 12 seed UC San Diego making a Cinderella run to the Elite Eight before falling to Michigan State.
Not everyone was impressed with Thomas’s picks. One fan commented, “She don’t know ball,” adding a laughing emoji. Another joked, “Did she pick based on which school sent her the most DMs?” And perhaps the funniest response came from a fan who said, “I would never date her” — all because of her bracket choices.
Whether fans agree with her picks, Thomas sticks to her choices. Her bold predictions have sparked plenty of conversation, showing her influence in the sports world.
