    OK, let me say, I'm not feeling good about my selection. Many more guesses (and teams that I haven't seen this year). Oh well, being under the weather for most of this year, is probably going to find me sad in December. How long should I expect this dynasty to last? I am still bitter that IU beat Gtown - otherwise, I would have won 4 in a row and 5 of 6.

    Didn't get my list done in time. Someone else will have to cover for me by starting decently then crashing and burning around Round 3.

    Go Creighton!

    13/16 - not too bad considering that 2 losses were from PK. The big problem is that I lost 2 teams in the 16. Nothing too serious, so no one feel too bad for me!

    At first glance no one got burned too bad last night, mostly because no one got too exotic with teams making deep runs this time around. I'll hopefully have a full standings update later today

    We had 26 entries this year. Here's who to root for/against

    Six different teams were picked to win the tournament. Maryland was chosen 12 times and Wake 6. Indiana was third favorite with 3 selections, while Stanford and Clemson each were picked twice. Charlotte was the only standalone pick to win it all.

    Much like the picks to win it all, there was a clear consensus for who would reach the final. Unsurprisingly, it was the same two teams featuring at the top. Maryland was chosen by 21 entries to reach the championship game, while Wake was picked on 13 ballots. Clemson was tabbed 6 times to make it back to the championship. Indiana was picked 4 times, Stanford 3, and Denver twice. Syracuse, Charlotte, and UNC were all chosen once.

    There was also a clear set of favorites to make it to Houston this year. Maryland appeared on 24 ballots, Wake on 18, Clemson on 17, and Stanford on 14. From there there was a gap, with Indiana being picked 6 times and Louisville 4. Denver, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Washington each were named 3 times, and UCLA was picked twice. New Mexico, Syracuse, Boston College, Charlotte, Albany, Michigan State (oops!), and UNC were each selected by one entry to make it to the College Cup.

    So if you were one of the many who picked a Maryland, Stanford, Clemson, Wake Forest College Cup, you probably need to do really well this week and next because your fate likely rests on how you do picking all the other games. If you have anyone else, start rooting against the big 4 ASAP since you can make up a ton of points quickly if they go out.
