Damn! Even the dead guy is beating me. Calm down, Tim - you always start strong and whither in the end - kind of like your love-making rep!

 

You're the John Ashcroft of college soccer.

 

Is there a special category for posters who have lost two of their final four, lol.

 

Yes, but I didn't feel like rubbing it in was appropriate

 

Any links to video feeds of this weekend's games, specifically Akron-IU??

 

so far 7/7 ,just waiting for UCLA to finish

Notes:
Poster who got all of the Elite 8 correct: bisbee, Skin, xpowerout, Hararea, TimB4Last, indiafootballfan.

There are 80 points left to be had (32+24+24).

The posters in bold above have all of their College Cup picks alive, and thus could earn as many as 80 additional points.

 

Must be beginners luck!

 

That is pretty damn good by the NCAA selection comittee to have 7 of the top 8 seeds be in the final eight teams.
#1 Louisville
#2 Maryland
#3 Akron
#4 North Carolina
#5 SMU
#6 Cal
#10 Michigan
#8 UCLA

They only missed the boat on #7 South Carolina as Michigan at #10 (which is not off by much) has taken their slot.

 

FYI - I'll be out and about this weekend. I'll try to post the updated scores during the weekend, but it may be Monday before I can.

 

Update - I'm in a seminar all day today, but I haven't forgotten about the scoring.

 

I'd prefer that you did.

CONGRATULATIONS TO JoeSoccerFan.

He was the only player to correctly select all of the winners from the Sweet 16 on. In fact, he only missed one winner from the second round on.
