After round two . . . it seems that everyone's round one pts were overrepresented by two. It should be corrected here. Let me know if you see an inconsistency.

Lotta people alive for first place. The thing that would make it interesting would be if IL, SanD St, Duke, AL, Gonzaga or Creighton won the championship. In such cases, it's probably about who has the best FF. Otherwise, it's between those who got the right champion and comes down to early round pts being the diff.

 

Thanks for the shout out! I'm happy to do it and appreciate your recognition.

 

After round three . . . The max numbers were a volatile data point in the S16. Very few didn't move much, while others just imploded. I've added a column showing the number of FF teams each bracketologist has remaining. Early indicators:

• If Purdue cuts down the nets, tilly will be champ.
• If TN cuts down the nets, Gator954 is your winner.
• BTE appears to be in the driver's seat if UConn wins, but I haven't confirmed this.
• Edit: If Purdue beats TN and UConn wins, I'm pretty sure that I will be champ.
