Updated Standings After The Weekend

I hope you got your fill of basketball, as there was plenty of it. We lost two #2 seeds, Missouri and Duke. Thankfully for you all, I had Missouri as my champion on one of my two brackets, so we can throw that one away. However, there was two brackets that correctly picked Florida advancing to the Sweet 16, versus Missouri instead of Norfolk State. Kudos to Jennifer and Mitchell.

I am curious about how many people are having second thoughts on Syracuse, specifically those who changed their brackets, because of the academic issues for one of their players.... Let's take a look at the current standings and our top 5 pick sheets: Steve Mason
Sam Schmillen
Elizabeth Crawford
Anne Quinlan
Mitchell Hahn

Two of the current top five have already lost their champion team, ouch and I feel your pain. The top three are sitting in favorable spot, one only one, Steve M, having all four Final Four teams.

Now Sam Schmillen, I must tell you, this is his first year participating in the bracket contest. Sam is only eight! He's become a fan of ESPN over Christmas break and was excited to be in the pool this year. For the record, he did do all of the picks himself.

What else, Player Scenarios are now posted. They show your best and worst possible finish and whom you need to root for.

I don't have the final payouts yet as I've been a bit swamped and wont get to it until Thursday at the earliest.
