Facebook has launched a co-branded NCAA March Madness brackets application that ties into CBSSports.com (see it at Facebook.com/brackets). During the tournament, Facebook users will see links to CBSSports.com’s extremely popular live coverage of the event.

Last year, 2.6 million Facebook users participated in a similar brackets tournament. (Thanks, Allen for the tip!)
