SAF Bracket Challenge

- Start date
Thanks, Luigi59, for pointing out that I am tied for last place. 
Thank you, Duke and Vandy.
And now, UNC's star point guard has a broken wrist?
My East bracket is totally trashed.
At least I didn't pick Murray St to be in the Final 4.

I was pretty sure I was cooked last night because of KS and having them in my Final, plus I already lost Duke and Temple.
Sorry to hear about UNC, but also I am not going to cry too many tears since I didn't have them going to the Elite 8.
My fear right now is NCST. KS was sloppy and NCST wants this. Midwest is my problem bracket.

I would let Bullet cheat off of me, but the problem is he thinks I am pure nuts on how I pick my team. I chose by 3 methods.
1. School Mascot ---which one I like better
2. School Colors
3. If we ever lived in that state or family lived there.
The only caveat is Duke and UNC, even though we lived in NC for 6 yrs., I have to go against them because Bullet and DS are UMDCP Terps.
The funny thing is I beat out 19 people in his office pool to win there, and it is the 2nd yr I have won money due to the method of my madness.
Bullet on the other hand knows the game, and the teams, so his approach was from a statistical perspective.

And the final results are:
Drum roll please.....
In 1st place, with 1510 pts: Pima! (That's two years in a row she kicked my behind in the bracket challenge, mostly by picking teams from places we lived at or have family members near-by, team mascots, and colors. Don't worry, she also won my office pool, beating out 20 AF members this time for cold-hard cash! I'll NEVER hear the end of this)
In second place: Eagle, with 1190 pts
3rd Place: SAF, 1160
4th: The Right Honorable Rev, with 1090 (and who would have won if the Jay-Hawks pulled off the upset last night)
5th: Bullet, 1080
6th: JAM, 1060
7th: Owenclean, 750
8th: Grp Commander Mandrake, 570 (but he's British, so we forgive him for not understanding the intricasies of US College Basketball
)
Next year, Pima wants to enter a bracket where we let our dog choose the winners. I'll probably lose to him as well.....

Xposted with Bullet, but it is true next yr you will see me enter Bandit (our dog, not my avatar) and his picks, I just have to figure out a way to do it.
I am not joking! I think we all would LOAO if the winner is our dog! It also may be disheartening to think they won by deciding winners based on which treat they went to first.

Woo Hoo - You go girl!
Congrats!
Should be SAFBuff81 which = me
Group Captain Lionel Mandrake = Luigi59
This was fun.
Next year, my dogs WILL do my picking.
Will let them put their paws on their picks.
Maybe I could get the cats involved too ------- nah - they wouldn't cooperate.

Maybe we should have pets and their owners.
It would be comical to see if the pet beats out their owners.
Let's be honest if a pet wins over a poster it would prove that my process of mascots, colors and connection to the state is not too insane.

Bravo, Pima, on your wire to wire triumph. You ranked 54,000 among the multi-millions of prognosticators, good enough for the 99th percentile. A remarkable achievement, though on the other hand I'd be leery of relying on the 54,000th best brain surgeon.
Rev. Earwicker is still bemoaning the little bunny hop the KU guard took with a minute or so left, which nullified the 3 point shot that would have reduced the deficit to a paltry margin of three. He is convinced that would have turned the tide and gained him fame and fortune. His dream of opening a combination betting parlor/church in Las Vegas must be put on hold. His final snarky comment was "So, Uk beat Ku. How charmingly exquisite."

Congrats, Pima, well done.
Only 154 days until a real sport begins again.
Hockey season is still going strong.
