Woody

[josh33_unc]

i just filled out brackets at espn, yahoo, and cbs. so im good to go.

yeah if no one like quill or nino or anyone else wants to set it up, you can do it. all you do is just join yahoo, create a group, and invite each person or give them the group name and pword and them join when they register.

easy as pie

[Studintx]

ok looks like I screwed up I chose all my picks except for the final game what should I do? can we still play it if I name my team now?

[NINO63004]

Name your team and we will count it. The system should have forced you to pick a winner in the final game.





Nino

[Studintx]

Name your team and we will count it. The system should have forced you to pick a winner in the final game.





Nino

[josh33_unc]

[heavyd]

damn upsets

[Quill]

No doubt, heavyd, my brackets are ripped to shreds. :p

[josh33_unc]

shreds is an understatement for me

[Studintx]

still a few differences between the top 3 :lol: we shall see what tomorrow, or I mean later today brings !

[NINO63004]

Clemson losing hurt me. I was third yesterday before that game. Amazing how so much changed in one night.



Nino

[josh33_unc]

i have a lock on last place. No one can take that away from me :lol:

[heavyd]

shreds is an understatement for me

If I recall, you were not in very good shape BEFORE yesterday. But if you want to use the upsets as an excuse,that is fine with me. lol

[Studintx]

anyone watch sportscenter yesterday they said of all the 3.65 million brackets submitted there were no more perfect brackets

[Quill]

anyone watch sportscenter yesterday they said of all the 3.65 million brackets submitted there were no more perfect brackets

Two 12s and two 13s will do that. LOL. The only people that might have been crazy enough to pick that would have been fans of the teams in that pod who are on meds for delusional thoughts. :p

[Studintx]

I just filled in that bracket, I made sure to pick an actual winner this time :lol:

got nothin to loose right!

[josh33_unc]

its a pick em from sweet 16 to title game

[josh33_unc]

my analysis on our current pool up till now:

color codes: red-negative, green-positive, orange-neutral

nino, tied for 1st place, but will probably move down cause he has g'town and usc gone from the elite 8, and g'town gone from the final four

studintx, tied for 1st place, but will probably move down cause he has g'town and duke gone from the elite 8, and duke gone from the final four

btrav13UNC, in 3rd place, but will probably move down cause he has g'town and duke gone from the elite 8, and g'town gone from the final four

heavyd, in 4th place, but will definitely move down cause he has g'town, duke, and drake gone from the elite 8, and duke and g'town gone from the final four, and duke winning it all, who has already been eliminated

MacPCS FTMFW! (again), in 5th place, may move up, cause his final four is intact, but has duke and g'town gone from the elite 8

Go Gators!!!, in 6th place, will definitely move up, cause his final four is intact, only g'town gone from his elite 8

Quill, in 7th place, will probably stay in this position if not drop, cause she has unlv, usc, duke and pitt all gone from her elite 8, and usc gone from her final four

gamester, in 8th place, will probably stay in this position if not drop, cause he has clemson, g'town, and purdue all gone from his elite 8, and clemson gone from his final four

me/UNC, in 9th place, will definitely move up, cause i have an intact final four, and only usc gone from my elite 8

WOODY'$, in 10th place, dead lock on last place, 5 of 8 elite 8 teams gone, 3/4 final four teams gone, both semifinal teams gone, and title pick winner gone, unlv

(posted also on our pool group msg board on the yahoo site)

[heavyd]

At least I will not be last.

[NINO63004]

heavyd, in 4th place, but will definitely move down cause he has g'town, duke, and drake gone from the elite 8, and duke and g'town gone from the final four, and duke winning it all, who has already been eliminated


DUKE...gone...enough said

:wavey:

[DJRider]

I'm not in the pool, but it is looking more and more like all the number 1 seeds are going to make the final four. I think I read that it has never happened. The best was 3 of the 4.

[josh33_unc]

correct you are sir

[DJRider]

correct you are sir

Well even a broken clock is right twice a day. I had to be right some time in my life. The way my wife talks it hasnt happened yet lol

[josh33_unc]

Since the expansion to 64 teams in 1985, there has never been a case where all four #1 seeds made it to the Final Four.

* The closest outcome happened in 1993, when three #1 seeds (Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina) and a #2 seed (Kansas) made it to the Final Four.
* In 2007, two #1 seeds (Florida, Ohio State) and two #2 seeds (Georgetown, UCLA) made it to the Final Four.
* On two other occasions, three #1 seeds made it to the Final Four accompanied by a #4 seed:
o 1997 (#1 seeds: Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina; #4 seed: Arizona)
o 1999 (#1 seeds: Connecticut, Duke, Michigan State; #4 seed: Ohio State)

The only team to beat three #1 seeds in a single tournament was #4 seed Arizona in 1997 (due to tournament structure, it's impossible to play a team from each one of the regions in a single tournament, thus it is impossible to play all four #1 seeds in a single tournament).

and it will probably stay in there, as you seem to have the edge on most all possible matchups

[MacPCS]

you feelin lucky, punk? Well, do ya?

[NINO63004]

As long as UCLA loses the next game I feel great. If you UCLA wins I lose.



Nino

[MacPCS]

Nino

that's not quite true. if UNC and UCLA lose we both tie, but if UNC loses in the championship to memphis then we both tie at 102. If UCLA wins it outright I win of course.

so for you to win outright, UNC has to win it all. for me to win outright, UCLA can win just the next round and UNC lose, or UCLA can win it all against anyone.

the only way I don't win at least half is if UNC wins it all. Then I drop to sixth lol

Well that what I meant. If we tie I call that a win still b/c Ill get more money than I put in.

agreed there :D

Of course though winning the whole pot is great too :)

[tbakergobuck]

As much as I would like to see Nino take the su pool I don't want North Carolina to win. I think I lost the su pool by 3 freakin points last year. Don't get to excited over that 42 bucks Mac. lol
