NCAA Pick 5 - 2012 edition
Rules
You pick five teams from this year's NCAA Tournament field. Points are awarded based on how far each of your teams advance, with bonus points given based on the team's seed. You get one point for winning in the Second (formerly first) round, 2 for the Third Round, 3 for the regional semis, 4 for the regional finals, 5 for the national semifinal, and 6 for the national championship. Then, for each game your team wins, you get points that match the number of seed they are. For example, say you picked Kentucky (a No. 1 seed), and they advanced to the Final Four. You would get: (1+1) + (2+1) + (3+1) + (4+1) = 14 points for selecting the Wildcats. Or, if you pick St. Bonaventure, and they win 2 games, they would get (14+1) + (14+2) = 31 points. As you can see, a well placed 10+ seeded team notching an upset or two is just as valuable as a 1 or 2 seed going to the Final 4. First Four games do not count towards any point totals. Good luck, everyone! Any questions, just post them here. Post your picks here, too. If you want to change your picks, just edit your post. Any posts with an edit time of after Thursday, noon Eastern will be ruled ineligible.

Previous winners:
2006 - TazFTW, 83 pts. 2007 - ram, 89 pts. 2008 - No game 2009 - mauboy1, 87 pts. 2010 - ntndeacon, 98 pts. 2011 - timmynausea, 100 pts. Timmy won last year with picks of (3) UConn, (4) Kentucky, (12) Richmond, (7) Washington, and (12) Utah State. Utah State scored no points, but the combo of UConn's national title, UK making the Final 4, and Richmond making the Sweet 16 gave timmy a record point total.

No, I've got it here, though I appreciate the offer. I will post to Google Spreadsheets once this gets going.

Changed my final team from San Diego St. to Long Beach St.
Figured I should get a 12 seed in there.

I am likely done. Virginia was my last choice and was debating on them or a 1/2 seed. Ah well there is always next year.
Go Wisconsin and new Mexico! |

Whiffed on the chic Belmont pick, but NC State helps out. Now to see if my Bulls can give me some points tonight...

Losing San Diego State hurts, but if VCU wins tomorrow I should be competitive still.

Yay USF! Plus they get to face Ohio instead of Michigan in the next round.
