    Let's get ready to rumble, shall we?

    It's March, which means people are Mad for Things. Mostly basketball, but here in the Marie Claire office our minds are elsewhere. Perhaps you have recently noticed Prince Charles' cracking bod? Or Barack Obama's mood of a bomber jacket? Oh yes. We have too. Though we occasionally obsess over PYTs (we are the home of This Week in Timothée Chalamet, after all), for the next two-and-a-half weeks, we'll be meticulously thirsting over Dads. Join us, won't you?

    Totally savvy with the whole bracket thing? Click here to start voting. Otherwise, read on.

    Here's how it works:

    First, we found 64 hot dads for you. (You're welcome.) To keep the list consistent, we had to introduce strict parameters. Things got a little heated here at Marie Claire headquarters, and several snacks had to be mercilessly eliminated for not yet being 40 (sorry, Drake!) or not actually being, you know, someone's father (sorry, Chiwetel Ejiofor!).

    Next, we painstakingly divided these sexy papas into four "regions." Sure in the NCAA these "regions" are actually regions (East, South, West, Midwest), but rather than be directional we decided to be attributional, grouping these men by the thing about them that gives us the tinglies, like an amazing head of hair or eloquent wordsmithery. Rather than actually seed the men (the NCAA people have, like, a whole weekend to do this!), we randomly sorted each list in Excel—it only seemed fair! They're all such daddies!
