Sweet Sixteen-bound for The Team Who Shall Not Be Named!

(Not that I'm rooting for them, whoever they are).

The team that the not to be named team was playing against sure gacked. They were celebrating the tying basket while the not to be named team was dribbling down the court for an easy basket for the win!

I still have 13 of 16 alive. Can you post who has how many left?

I'm sure this is not uncommon since the #1 and #2 teams are all still alive, but I still have all 8 final 8 teams in it. The only of those I didn't pick was Michigan State (I had USC in beating Michigan State today....almost pulled it off). I have Kansas going to that spot.

Who would have thought the only Pac 10 team remaining would be Arizona?

What would the score be if you just picked based solely on seeding (in other words, how are the selection committee doing)?

A seeding bracket would Currently be in third place with 36 correct games

Hooray! I'm a loser!

The selection committee would have 14 of 16 remaining. The only teams still alive that are not a 1, 2, 3, or 4 seed are Arizona and Purdue. And Purdue is a 5 seed, so they aren't that far off.

It doesn't get exceptionally difficult until now. There are always the upsets that happen early, but by the round of 16 it isn't too hard. Once you get the 1 through 4 seeds playing against each other, though, it becomes pretty challenging.

It should be noted that had I not, due to pointless childhood loyalty, picked UCLA to go all the way, but made those picks based on the same entirely uninformed criteria I used to pick the rest of the brackets...I'd be winning. All without having watched single minute of a game this season, nor any sportcenter coverage.

Savant, I tells ya'!
