March Madness Prediction Contest Results Through Day 4 (Sunday):

64 points possible/ 16 points this day (each game is worth 2 points for 2nd rd.)

1. Heatwaves -- 48 points / 12 points (Missed UNLV and Tennessee)
2. Harms -- 43 points / 8 points (Missed UNLV, S. Illinois, USC and Tennessee)
3. Champion2K7 -- 42 points / 6 points (Missed Oregon, UNLV, USC, Tennessee and Memphis)
4. JoeRoganIsMyHero -- 41 points / 10 points (Missed UNLV, USC and Memphis)

And we are now up-to-date! I'm back home for the next rounds of games, so I'll be updating it immediately after the day's games are complete.

As for the question about final four teams, I only have two teams left (UCLA & Ohio St.). Harms has them all left (Oregon, Kansas, NC and Texas AM). Champion2k7 has all four left ( Florida, S. Illinois, Georgetown and Ohio St.). And JoeRoganIsMyHero also has all four left (Oregon, Kansas, NC and Texas AM).

Be kind of interesting to see what happens if mine and JoeRogans picks make it to the FF.

I didnt fill in the brackets this year, mainly because I forgot to do it....but I think that Memphis will take the championship.

If it comes down to you and JoeRogan, it will get very interesting. You both have the same final two as well (NC and Kansas). It would essentially come down to the tournament winner. One of you picked NC and the other picked Kansas.

It's very possible that it comes down to you two. Even though I'm in the lead, I can't earn as many points as you guys with 2 out of 4 of my FF teams out. And Champion2K7 has to hope and pray that S. Illinois goes all the way.

March Madness Prediction Contest Results Through Sweet 16 (Thursday):

76 points possible/ 12 points this day (each game is worth 3 points for this rd.)

1. Heatwaves -- 60 points / 12 points
2. Harms -- 52 points / 9 points (Missed Memphis)
3. JoeRoganIsMyHero -- 50 points / 9 points (Missed Memphis)
4. Champion2K7 -- 48 points / 6 points (Missed Kansas and Memphis)

I think today was a bracket buster for Champion2K7. With S. Illinois's loss, he'll have to be perfect from here on out for a shot at victory.

For tomorrow, I can only make 6 pts max with Oregon and NC victories. Harms can earn 9 pts with Florida, Oregon and NC. JoeRogan can earn 9 pts with Oregon, NC and Georgetown. And Champion2k7 can earn 9 pts with Florida, NC and Georgetown.

As of right now, I have 2 FF teams left and both championship teams still in it. Harms and JoeRogan have 3 FF teams and both championship teams. Champion2K7 has 3 FF teams and one championship team.

March Madness Prediction Contest Results Through Sweet 16 (Friday):

88 points possible/ 12 points this day (each game is worth 3 points for this rd.)

1. Heatwaves -- 66 points / 6 points (Missed Florida and Georgetown)
2. Harms -- 61 points / 9 points (Missed Georgetown)
3. JoeRoganIsMyHero -- 59 points / 9 points (Missed Florida)
4. Champion2K7 -- 57 points / 9 points (Missed Oregon)

The games are worth 4 pts each tomorrow.

I ran the numbers and Champion 2K7 is out of the running. He could gain 8 points over me from here on out, but that wouldn't be enough. The rest of us are still in the running.

For tomorrow's games, I have UCLA and Ohio St. as the winners. Harms and JoeRogan have Kansas (with their other team out). Champion2K7 has Ohio St (with his other team out). My chance of winning depends on tomorrow.

For Sunday, both my teams are out. Harms and JoeRogan have Oregon and NC as the winners. Champion2K7 has Florida and Georgetown.

March Madness Prediction Contest Results Through Elite 8 (Saturday):

86 points possible/ 8 points this day (each game is worth 4 points for this rd.)

1. Heatwaves -- 74 points / 8 points
2. Harms -- 61 points / 0 points (Missed UCLA and Ohio St.)
2. Champion2K7 -- 61 points / 4 points (Missed UCLA)
4. JoeRoganIsMyHero -- 59 points / 0 points (Missed UCLA and Ohio St.)

Harms can only tie at this point and then it would come down to points in the championship game. JoeRogan actually has the best opportunity to pass me at this point. Should NC lose tomorrow, I win. Harms needs both Oregon and NC to win tomorrow to remain in it. As long as NC keeps winning, JoeRogan is still in it regardless of whether his Oregon pick wins or not.

Harms · 03-25-2007, 12:16 AM

Disappointed in Kansas. Oh well.

March Madness Prediction Contest Results Through Elite 8 (Sunday):

94 points possible/ 8 points this day (each game is worth 4 points for this rd.)

1. Heatwaves -- 74 points / 0 points (Missed Florida and Georgetown)
2. Champion2K7 -- 69 points / 8 points
3. Harms -- 61 points / 0 points (Missed Florida and Georgetown
4. JoeRoganIsMyHero -- 59 points / 0 points (Missed Florida and Georgetown)

With NC's and Oregon's losses today, it looks like I win. Harms & JoeRogan cannot earn any more points from here on out and both Champion2K7 and I have Ohio St. moving on in the next game. With that in mind, no one can accumulate enough points for the lead.

Thanks everyone for participating. I'm sorry we couldn't get more participants, but there is always next year.

champion2k7 · 03-25-2007, 07:53 PM

Thanks heatwaves for doing this, i had fun even tho i lost (hey i came in second at least

) and hopefully we can do this next year.

Heatwaves · 03-26-2007, 01:56 AM

Your're welcome, Champion2K7. I had fun too. If you had almost any other high seed going all the way over S. Illinois I'm sure it would have come down to the wire between us.

JoeRoganismyhero · 03-26-2007, 10:01 AM

Yeah thanks for doing this Heatwaves and hopefully next year we'll have more people!

Harms · 03-26-2007, 11:22 AM

Yeah, thanks for doing this. It was worth it. Nice win, Heatwaves.
