And I am shocked all three of mine are near the top. Including the "never gonna happen" one. I guess I got lucky with some of the upset picks in that bracket. But each of my brackets have three different teams winning it all. If, God forbid, UCONN gets knocked out before the NC game, there will be a lot of busted brackets in our group. At that point, it will be whoever picked best amongst the remaining teams who will win our group contest.

I filled out three brackets but only find one... I've never done this before so I guess I goofed somewhere along the line. Oh, well. the one that's left is pretty well busted, but it's still fun.

Three way tie at the top. Semper - you are doing surprisingly well! What shocks me is my "Never Going to Happen" bracket is doing so well. I am mystified but considering two of my final four picks in that bracket are now out of the tournament, that one will start dropping and going up in flames like a satellite dropping out of earth's orbit. Now things get interesting. The points really matter from this point forward! At the conclusion of the round of 32, the leader board looks like this:  |

Just idiot's luck in my case. I usually do great on these, and am mystified as to why as I know so little. Next year I think I'll fill out three brackets, one based on chalk.

A lot can happen in the last two rounds. I remember one year where I was just above middle of the pack heading into the Final Four, and then in one bracket I picked a champion no one else had picked and BAM! I won. This was when I was still on another site and it was in their group. No one even commented on the final results, let alone said congratulations. Because I wasn't one of their favorite posters I guess. Still...

Well, after last night it looks like Phil might pull out the win.
Or will he?
Of the remaining entries who picked a national champion other than UConn all have Stanford. Except for one. Yes, one. There is one entry that has Arizona winning it all.
So here is where we stand:
If Stanford wins, Phil will have bragging rights for our group this year.
But if Arizona wins - this sleeper bracket will take the title.
Phil has 1140 total points
The bracket currently sitting in 14th place with Arizona winning the title has 940 points. With the correct pick in the final there are 320 points awarded. So, if Arizona wins that entry would end up with 1260 points.
And no one is more shocked than I am that that bracket is my "never gonna happen" bracket.
I still don't think Arizona will win it all - though I really hope they do because it would be fun to see a first timer win. But in all likelihood, Phil will take the crown.
