Well, it's not a banner year for the ACC. UNC is the only team left, following everyone else getting upset this weekend. Even in the NIT, only Georgia Tech remains. The rest of the ACC is home.
In our game, BayAreaHokie joins BigDave and Riverguy in a three-way tie for first, but there are still 8 people who are no more than one round three game out of first place.
Awesome Guy, HokieFanDC, Elberto, and USN are eliminated from possibly reaching first place, as they each have at least one person they cannot possibly catch. Everyone else still has a path to victory of some sort.
(+3) 1. BayAreaHokie (43) - Duke over Kansas, FSU and UCLA (3 Elite Eight alive)
(==) 1. BigDave (43) - Kansas over Villanova, Gonzaga and UCLA (5 Elite Eight alive)

Re: UWS NCAA Tournament Pool 2017 - the NCAAs actually matte
I bet it is mathematically nearly impossible for me to beat you Dave, as we both have my UCLA and UNC in the final four, yet you have 5 left of your Elite 8 and I have 3.
Dang it.
Freaking Duke

Yahoo has a scenario generator at https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo. ... r?tid=&gid where you can see who would win. There are still 64 cases, so I'm not doing everything ... but here are some of the scenarios if all of the favorites win their Sweet 16 games:
UNC, Kansas, Gonzaga, Baylor final four (all favorites):
Baylor wins ==> RWNJ
Kansas over Baylor ==> BigDave
Kansas over Gonzaga ==> BigDave and WestEndHokie tie
Anyone else ==> WestEndHokie
Kentucky beats UNC, otherwise favorites:
Kansas wins ==> BigDave
Baylor over Kansas ==> BigDave
Baylor over Kentucky ==> RWNJ
Gonzaga wins ==> WestEndHokie
Kentucky over Baylor ==> WestEndHokie
Kentucky over Gonzaga ==> RWNJ
Anyway ... there are far too many scenarios to map all of them out, but have fun if you would like. Here is my prediction:
UNC, Kansas, Gonzaga, Baylor final four (all favorites):
Baylor wins ==> RWNJ
Kansas over Baylor ==> BigDave
Kansas over Gonzaga ==> BigDave and WestEndHokie tie
Anyone else ==> WestEndHokie
Kentucky beats UNC, otherwise favorites:
Kansas wins ==> BigDave
Baylor over Kansas ==> BigDave
Baylor over Kentucky ==> RWNJ
Gonzaga wins ==> WestEndHokie
Kentucky over Baylor ==> WestEndHokie
Kentucky over Gonzaga ==> RWNJ

BG - BFF is going to win. Whoever that team is, is lucky to have BG as a BFF.
With their Cap’n and Chief Intelligence Officer having deserted them, River, Ham and Joe valiantly continue their whataboutismistic last stand of the DJT apology tour.
Re: UWS NCAA Tournament Pool 2017 - the NCAAs actually matte
Well, Arizona's loss to Xavier took out a lot of people last night. I believe that there are only five UWSers with a path forward now.
