policyvote Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I've got six of the Elite Eight right: MSU, Kentucky, UNC, Louisville, Arizona, and Illinois. My Final Four are all still alive: Kentucky, UNC, Louisville, and Illinois. As of right now (before Wisconsin, Kentucky, and UNC's wins have posted) I'm ranked #34,317 in ESPN's tournament challenge, in the 98.8th percentile. Once those three correct picks get processed I'm going to jump even higher. This is crazy, I filled this bracket out an hour before the deadline (it exactly matches my one office bracket, which I filled out at the same time). I went strictly with intuition and first impulse, and as of this writing I am mathematically alive to finish with the #1 bracket and win the $10,000. Unfortunately, I have MSU picked to lose to Kentucky. I will be rooting for MSU to win, but if they should not, well . . . that gets me that much closer, right?

Ramhock Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Two different office pools, each about 30 people. My basis was that Duke would lose and Illinois would win. Not normally a chalkie, the fact that the Illini have 5 players averaging double figures, was too good to go past. Pool #1, had Ill over the Cuse, nuff said. . . #2 had Mich St to the Final 4, w/ Ill over NC. But like whenever you do 2 different pools, there are good picks on each. #1 had Louisville in the Final 4 and Wisconsin in the Elite 8. If Kentucky doesn't make the final game, I think I am the winner. Don't watch as much college ball as I used to. Took MSU for the coach, but they look pretty good. At this point, I think it will be the Illini and Spartans in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace policy 751917[/snapback] Actually I'm right up there with you in my ESPN brackets. I have Ill, Arizona, Louisville, UNC, Kentucky and WVU as 6 of my final 8, my problems are going to come now, since I had Syracuse in the final four, I just have to cheer hard for Ill and my Heels and hope the Tarheels can play better than they did last night and win.
