I feared I had selected Toledo, but checked and I went w/ Akron. I had been going back & forth on that one.And Rockets....
Might be wrong about it anyway, but safe for a minimum of a few hours, at least.

don't think there were any title games last night, anyway!Guys - after waiting for my laptop to finish updates for almost two hours (I haven't used it in a while), I'm having trouble getting my excel file to load up. I'm done with this for now. Sorry, but I won't have an update until either tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm getting hangry, and I want to get out of this hotel room!
Go Cyclones, BEAT THE BEARS!!!
I'm among those Some People.Nope. Just tracking eliminations. Some people lost several teams yesterday.

Okay, here is the leaderboard after last night. I won't post another until tomorrow, because I am hopefully going to be celebrating tonight after a late tip-off time.
The new column to the right tells you what your best possible score is now (wins plus remaining possible wins).
Go CYCLONES!!!

And here is the leaderboard after the Friday games. I hope to be celebrating tonight, and traveling home tomorrow, so don't expect the next leader board until tomorrow afternoon. And at that point, I may just wait until the three Sunday championships conclude. I think it's a pretty good bet that @AlaCyclone will win back to backs, but to quote Laurence of Arabia "NOTHING is written until I say it is written"...with the exception of @cyclones500 , that is!

You and I have been running neck and neck the whole way. I'm just happy my first time, not to be at or near the bottom. I honestly thought last year when this rolled around I'd studiously look at everything and carefully pick. With so many conferences I was overwhelmed so just did some "favorites" or "near favorites" and a few "whacky gut picks." Still fun to pay attention to all the tournaments instead of just a few.Welp, I've equalled my win total from last season. Tiny victories!

I did have time, so here you go. Six people have games left, but no one can catch @AlaCyclone at this point. I have noted the remaining viable teams and their conferences.

Considering how many top seeds were bounced, the scores aren't all that bad.
@AlaCyclone will become the first repeat champ of Auto-Bid Madness.
AHEM...I don’t recognize any champion that did not have ISU winning the Big 12 in Hilton South.
@BoomerClone, @Cupped and @cyclones500 are the Peoples Champions.
I picked Auburn, nobody else did, this is an auto victory where is my trophy
