Okay - here's where we stand. I'm not a morning person, so if you see errors PLEASE let me know! Also, Milo walked across the keyboard several times while I was doing this. I think I caught all of his "edits".

I've included the remaining five conference picks - an E indicates your pick was already eliminated in that conference. At a quick glance, @CoachHines3 doesn't have the juice to catch the other four.
As for the top four: @coolerifyoudid , @CycloneNorth and @riceville98 will tie no matter what, as they have identical remaining picks. And as near as I can tell, @BoredInKildee has it in the bag . Even if Memphis & Davidson both lose, he would still be least 2 points above the others, and the remaining three picks are identical for all of the top four.

All of us have at least one remaining team in the championships, but it's pretty much all over but the shouting. I will post a final tally tonight (especially if we have to go to the tiebreaker to determine final standings).

As for me and my plans for today -
BOILER UP!!!

I THINK I’m actually at 17 going into today (counted a couple times). I got my eye on that all time record;)

I'll check my numbers after the selection show is over. Did you check the posts I made early on to make sure I had your picks correct? Sometimes Excel does an auto fill. For example, if Montana St was already typed in the column, and I type Montana lower down I have to be careful that Montana doesn't morph to Montana St. I caught a few of those as I was doing the spreadsheet, but I can't guarantee that I didn't miss one. The picks have not changed since I posted everyone's picks early on.

Ah, I looked. I'm pretty sure it's just because of the whole Jacksonville State/Bellarmine deal. I had quite the rough last 24 hours for my picks. 0-4 today:oops:

Pac-12: Arizona won it, you have it crossed-out. (It took a couple of look-thru's for me to spot it).

So, it's 17 of 32, I think.

I am hanging my head in shame. Not only did I screw up on Bored's total, I made the same error on most of the others who chose Arizona. Only Cooler and ZB4CY were credited with the win.
Below are the corrected final scores. The players whose scores were changed are in bold type. Many thanks to Bored & 500 for helping me fix it. :D

Hey, no head-hang necessary. You did all the heavy-lifting for tracking & scoring, I definitely won't complain! :)
