Bracket Challenge for TD

[Paul Pleiss]

I think my bracket is holding strong. Across the center of the bracket where it says "Championship, April 6" I have written "OPENING DAY. Baseball 1, NCAA March Madness 0"

[Shane Wahl]

Blergh, I thought I joined the group yesterday morning. I joined other national groups somehow, but I didn't get it. I was 13-3 yesterday, for what that's worth.

[Shane Wahl]

My losses were Baylor, Iowa State, and that travesty that was the Purdue game.

That would have been good enough in our group to have you tied for first place with just one other person who sits alone in first place in our group after the first day.

 

We do have an 11-way tie for second, though.

I am 20-4 right now (Buffalo didn't win for me) and should be 22-4 after Maryland and Duke win.

[Shane Wahl]

26-6.

[USAFChief]

Solidly in a tie for 14th currently.

 

I do have the most possible points remaining though, so I got that going for me. Which is nice.

[TheLeviathan]

Dammit Virginia.

Perhaps talking about Psuedo's bracket is the same as talking about a no-hitter in progress.  Impressive upsets.

 

I'm still doing well but I just lost a final four team so I will only finish in the top half of group.  Possibly top quarter.

[Steven Buhr]

Im doing as well as a guy who has lost half his final four picks has a right to.

[ericchri]

I've still got a shot at finishing last...

[Seth Stohs]

44th out of 46 entries... maybe I actually should watch basketball once in a while before participating!

[Mike Sixel]

If Kentucky wins, I beat my wife and kid*

 

*by beat, I mean get more points, not what AP did.....

When Dayton took a half-time lead, I was like OH BOY, but my luck did not hold.   I doubt my final four holds up, but it's fun that mother serendipity has lead me this far.

 

Oh, and it's still not too late to place wagers on your brackets everyone! 

[ashbury]

Me too, if I finish really strongly.

[Squirrel]

Man, you guys are all very lucky I didn't enter.  I would have won last place hands down.

You picked some ballsy upsets but you were hitting on them left and right. 

[Steven Buhr]

So far, I'm 32nd out of 46. So... guess my chances are dwindling.

[Shane Wahl]

I have three of the four, and got burned by picking Louisville over MSU. I often end up with two Big 10 teams in the final four, but I thought it was too much this year for MSU. I should have gone with the "gut" there. 

 

I have Wisconsin beating Duke in the championship.

[ashbury]

Three 1-seeds make it to the finals. Where's the fun in that? I picked all 16-seeds for the finals. I lose with some flair.

 

_{^{/ actually I lose with lousy picks}}

[Squirrel]

 

_{^{/ actually I lose with lousy picks}}

You could lose with both flair and lousy picks.

[Steven Buhr]

Glancing at the standings in our Tournament Challenge, it appears that the results of tonight's games might eliminate some people, but it doesn't appear we'll have a winner decided until the championship game. #AsItShouldBe

Should be down to three people though, shouldn't it? (I see a tie at the top and both have Duke.)

[Steven Buhr]

So, you're saying I should have included a tiebreaker?

[Steven Buhr]

OK it does appear that we are down to 3 possible winners, 2 who have Duke picked and 1 with Wisconsin (if my math is correct). Fortunately, ESPN did, in fact, make us predict a final score, as a tiebreaker, so that takes care of that.

 

I'll need to get contact information from the eventually winner (whoever you turn out to be) to work out getting the jersey sent to you.. Just contact me via email at JimCrikket13@yahoo.com.

 

 

 

[Shane Wahl]

For the non-official record, I have 1260  points and Wisconsin winning. swahl111

[Steven Buhr]

Ryan341584 is the winner, by tiebreaker (missed both team's score by just one point!) and natep05 had the same number of points for runner up.

 

If you'll both send me your contact info, we'll get appropriate prizes worked out.

Awesome! That was a close one! I'll email you my contact info tomorrow

Even with two one-seeds in the final, this is seriously impressive work. Is the login Ryan341584 Bo Ryan's? Must be inside information.
