How is your bracket going?

  • Fly4Fun
    I have 11 of the sweet 16 correct.

    7/8 of my elite 8 are still alive and all of my final four are alive. But I was a huge homer for the B1G when it comes to the final four so that will probably kill me. (MSU, OSU, Indiana and Florida).

    Besides the upper half of my west bracket being completely screwed I'm not too bad off. I had Pitt beating Gonzaga and then Wisconsin beating Pitt.

    440 pts, 89.8% on ESPN.

    Mine was fine until yesterday.

    I had Duke, Florida, and Kansas all losing.
  • WebFire
    12 out of 16
    7 out of 8
    4 out of 4

    Still don't have much chance of winning anything.

    Off the top of my head, I have 8 of the sweet 16 correct. 6 of the elite 8 left(missed on Wisconsin and Georgetown) and 3 of the 4 Final 4 teams left(missed on Georgetown, I really hate Georgetown).

    I'm like dead last in my bracket. :laugh:

    Honestly, haven't missed a pick in the Midwest yet. That's the only thing I can brag about. :thumbup:

    Worst I have ever done in my life I believe.

    I was just looking through some of the "featured" brackets on ESPN. Joe Lunardi's West bracket is probably the worst set of predictions ever. He correctly picked Gonzaga to win their first game (but he has them winning the West), and OSU to win 3 (2 of which he is right so far). But beyond that he has been wrong on everything else in the West. His other regions are pretty decent still.

    Colin Cowherd bracket it embarrassingly bad. His West is as horribly bad as Lunardi's (1 Gonzaga, but has them winning the west and 2 OSU wins with New Mexico beating OSU and then losing to Gonzaga), but everything else is wrong.

    But beyond that his bracket is trash. He has St. Louis coming out of the Midwest. He has Gonzaga out of the West. He has Florida out of the South and Miami out of the East. So he has 2/4 Final 4 teams and only 1/2 National Championship teams left. 5/8 elite 8 left, and was 8/16 on the Sweet 16.

    I know Lunardi is just a bracketologist and not necessarily someone to predict the outcomes, but the Cowherd bracket made me laugh as he loves to act like he is a sports genius.

    But now for the other side. One of the best featured brackets and one of the best out there in general is fan favorite Charissa Thompson's. She's at the 97th percentile, with 460 points (11/16 sweet sixteen) 7/8 elite 8, and 4/4 final four.

    Obviously a lot can chance and wreck brackets this weekend, but that's the point!

    Colin Cowherd bracket it embarrassingly bad. His West is exactly the same as Lunardi's (1 Gonzaga, but has them winning the west and 2 OSU wins with New Mexico beating OSU and then losing to Gonzaga), but everything else is wrong.

    Anyone who picked Gonzaga to the Final 4 is a retard.

    Cowherd is a dipshit. Hate that stupid asshole.

    Have to agree here. I had them losing to Southern. They are not good; Miami should have been the last #1 seed. :thumbup:

    Correction on mine...3 out of 4 in the Final 4. I had picked Georgetown in the one I'm looking at. Why? IDK
  • sportchampps
    11/16. 7/8 4/4 in first place in the OC brackets
  • Manhattan Buckeye
    Key isn't current rank, but rather potential rank. The only final 8 team I have out is Wisconsin, but I'm barely above the 50th percentile in ESPN and in our friendly non-money bracket. That said, at least in my non-money bracket I have more potential points remaining than any other team. In comparison, the guy currently in first place pretty much got all of the first round correct and many of the second round upsets (picked Wichita St., Arizona and Oregon)....but on the other hand guess which one of the first round picks he missed?

    Georgetown, who he had winning the whole thing (G'town alum). No way he wins.

    We have the same bracket the rest of the way with the most possible points remaining and same points now. Could come down to tie breaker.
  • Belly35

    Duke
    Ohio State
    Kansas

    Hmmmmm, that means you picked Duke to the Sweet 16, interesting considering you're a Duke troller.

    Yup skipped over that one I guess. Ah well
  • Pick6
    Bracket currently ranked 91st percentile on Yahoo. Leading my group right now. My final 4 is Louisville, Michigan, OSU, and IU. I have Michigan winning it all. Wouldnt mind Michigan losing next round as long the winner of Duke/Louisville loses as well, then Im pretty sure I will have it sealed because a few guys have Louisville and Duke winning it all. Nobody has Syracuse, and Wichita (obviously).
  • said_aouita
    One out of four left. I picked Michigan to win it all.
  • Pick6
    in the 94th percentile now. I have a 6 point lead over the next closest guy. Lousiville loses- I win. Louisville wins and Michigan loses- I lose.
