I'm stupid about brackets/pools. Can someone tell me who's been mathematically eliminated?
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'm going to be **** if all four #1 seeds go to the Final Four, although that would be par for the course this year.  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. |

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

http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-cat2.htmCatbird 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: |

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.   |
