lol, I was wondering why we didn't have more sign ups, then I realized they only show the top 10 unless you expand the standings.

Damn.

The only team I picked in yesterday's games who lost that I had advancing to the Sweet 16 was Northern Iowa. I had picked Mississppi State as well, for a 12/13 matchup in the 2nd round, but I had UConn beating the winner, so limited damage there.
Picked Cal and Butler, as well, but I had them losing to Memphis and UNC in the second round, respectively. |

Wait? Seriously, there are only 3 of us who have Louisville as winner? Anyways, decided to do a quick breakdown since I was curious what FOFC thought:
NCarolina 13 Memphis 7 Pitt 3 Louisville 3 Duke 2 Michigan St 2 Gonzaga 2 UConn 1 Oklahoma 1 Blank 1 (sorry, Neuqua) SI

I keep flipping between UNC and Memphis (I have one in this bracket, and the other in the other bracket I've done).

I'm currently in 15th spot, but only 5 people have more possible points remaining. I missed a lot of the close first round games.

Our distribution is pretty different from the yahoo national results. Looks like we had 34 picks, of which 5% or more picked one of 7 teams. Nationally, only five teams got 5% or more (UNC, Lville, Pitt, Memphis, UConn) Looks like Louisville (and Pitt) suffered here at the hands of Memphis, which was over 20% of our picks but only 9% nationally. Our other outliers are random picks like Duke, Michigan State, and Gonzaga. College Basketball Tournament Pick'em - Yahoo! Sports

My bracket can be described in one of the seven words you can't say on television.
Nice while it lasted. |

What I find funny is that despite one side of the bracket being completely empty, I am still not in last place.

What I find funny (in a profane sort of way) is that I went from being a heartbeat from leading this thing after the Sweet Sixteen to trailing somebody who left an entire regional blank after the Elite Eight. That is some major fucking-over. Thanks a lot, Michigan State, North Carolina, Syracuse and Villanova. |

North Carolina/UConn final NC win -cmp UConn win - Jeheinz72 North Carolina/Michigan State final NC win - Jim Cramers' Bracket Picks Michigan State win - Football Frontier UConn/Villanova final UConn win - Jeheinz72 Nova win - cmp Michigan State/Villanova final Football Frontier wins regardless

Wow. I just need NC to win and my journey from worst to first is complete . I don't think I've ever missed so many early round picks and still had a chance to win.
