This thing is still wide open, I'm not going to get into everyone's brackets and break it down bit by bit.

But...of the gang that has scored over 200 points as of right now, the top 7 break down like this.

Fuzz 221 points 4 of his final 4 intact Kansas winner.
Torp 221 4 of 4 Florida.
Worst Bracket 220 2 of 4 UCLA
Seamus 214 3 of 4 UCLA
Bob A. 213 3 of 4 Kansas
Teed 205 4 of 4 Florida
Clive 200 4 of 4 Florida

Just looking at it quickly our champion may be determined by the outcome of the Kansas-UCLA game. And can Florida repeat? Stay tuned...same bat time same bat channel.

Go Pac-10!

So what you are saying is wish is mathematically eliminated but I still have a shot to finish ahead of Aske? 

no way,  my final 4 is gonna beat your final 4 !

Hey now, I'm not sayin', I'm just you know, sayin'.Side bets?

If I loose you can have my kids, If I win you take my kids. Fair?

I'm going to be pissed if all four #1 seeds go to the Final Four, although that would be par for the course this year. >:(

its looking like it
 [sm_disgust]

I missed the end of the Ohio State game.  Looks like it wasn't that close.

Fuzz is opening up a lead... [sm_shock]

They hit something like 15 straight free throws to seal it. Very clutch FT performance.

I may be leading now, but like you said the KU-UCLA game is pivotal.

And Kansas is just killing me right now. If they get beat I'm afraid I'm fried.

Wow, this game is like a heavyweight brawl. [sm_boxing]

:o lol ;D

Looks like your fried.

That pisses me off. Best I've done in a pool in 10 years and the one game I felt good about this weekend was Kansas winning.

Oh well. Wait'll next year I guess.

I'm stupid about brackets/pools.  Can someone tell me who's been mathematically eliminated?

Wow, big shakeup in the golfhos contest.

Teed looks like the only one with a final four still intact.  Seamus has the best potential score, though.

You're in pretty good shape with only 1 of your Final Four definitely out. 

Aske and wishicouldhit are definitely out of the running.  A few others probably are because their picks likely overlap with someone else higher, but it would take some work to look through everyone's picks to figure this out.

I purposely picked all for to go that far.  I really didn't see any that could overturn them - at least of the picks I'd made in my bracket.

Whoa! Just saw that Kansas was out!  (I know, I'm a bit behind.)

Yeah, should get interesting. :)

There are still too many variables, mathematically everyone from Clive up (Walfredo & Bob A I dunno maybe not) is probably still in it, having Kansas as your winner may be your undoing at this point. It will be clear this time tomorrow. Just looking at it quickly the guy who may be in the catbird seat is Teed.

How tough is Florida? Oregon is a very good team, we'll know tomorrow.

Too early to predict a winner based on the returns, back to you Katie.

woohoo !  i'm out !
 ;D

What the heck is the "catbird" seat? 

http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-cat2.htm
Catbird seat (as it is usually written) usually appears in the fuller form in the catbird seat, meaning to be in an advantageous or prominent position, one of ease and favour. Its first appearance in print was in a famous short story of that title by James Thurber, published in the New Yorker on 14 November 1942:

Man...3 out of 4 in the Final Four and I think the best I can do is lose by 1 point if I checked the scenarios correctly.

F'ing Jayhawks!!!!!!!!



 :punchballs:

never count on bill self  to win a big game

I just wrote everything down on a piece of paper, I can't figure it out because I don't know how many points you get per round.

Fuzz you can win only one more game OSU over Georgetown.
I still have 3 possible winning combos.
Teed still has 3 possible winning combos.
Torp has 2.
Worst has 2.
BobA has only 1 G'town over OSU.
Walfredo has 2.
Clive has 2.
Dystopia has 3.

Dystopia may be done because him and I have the same picks, except for the final.

Clive may be done because he and Walfredo have the exact same picks left and Walfredo would beat him based on points right now. And if that happens Torp has them both covered with similar picks and his 2 combos left trump theirs.

BobA has only one game left he can win, G'town over OSU and then he's done.

Worst Backet has 2 games left he can win, but they are the same as 2 of my 3 and I have him covered.

That leaves the top 4. Fuzz can win only one more game OSU over Georgetown but none of the top 4 picked OSU to win that game, and then his points end.

And it's still to crazy to figure out, I've been looking at it for an hour now.

UCLA-Florida is our key game, to many scenarios flow from the outcome of that game. And since nobody picked either G'town or Ohio State to win it all this thing may still be wide open.

My bwain hurts.

Some major NCAA bracketological karma to teed and campy for correctly picking the final four. That is not easy to do.

Thanks for figuring and typing that all out. 8)

I'm toast now  :sad3:

But I had fun following my bracket picks.  :) 

I'm thinkin' I got an outside shot at 17th. I'm cool with that.

The next round is 10 points for a correct pick and after that, 20 points for the final winner.  I think it'll come down to a two-man race for first between you and Teed based on the UCLA-Florida game.

Lots of people could get 2nd or 3rd, though, which should be fun to watch.

I just ran some numbers and I was mistaken.  It's a 3-man race for first between Seamus, Teed, and Fuzz.  If Ohio State wins it all, I believe that Fuzz wins no matter if the opponent is UCLA or FLA.

2nd and 3rd places are wide open, though, and lots of people are in the running there.
