Current stats if anyone cares

I was recently looking at the scoring, and it seemed like I could group all the brackets into some interesting categories.  Here are the number of brackets based on what they still have left alive, along with the current leader for that group:

No teams alive: 12 (Paul W. - 37th)
1 Final 4 team alive, no Championship teams:  26 (Virginia L. #2 - 75th)
2 Final 4 teams alive, no Championship teams: 12 (Howard S. #3 - 25th)
1 Final 4 team, 1 Championship team, no champion:  12 (Ben W. - 74th)
2 Final 4 teams, 1 Championship team, no champion: 19 (Amos W. - 89th)
3 final 4 teams, 1 Championship team, no champion: 18 (Josiah T. #2, Rich F. - 16th)
1 final 4 team, 1 Championship team, champion alive: 15 (Brett K. #2 - 36th)
2 final 4 teams, 1 Championship team, champion alive: 26 (Damien R. #3 - 69th)
3 final 4 teams, 1 championship team, champion alive: 37 (Mike L. #1 - 12th)
2 final 4 teams, 2 championship teams, champion alive: 23 (Miguel D. - 11th)
3 final 4 teams, 2 championship teams, champion alive: 36 (Brent E. #6, Ryan H. - 1st)
All teams alive: 10 (Ally H. - 3rd)

Also just for fun, there are currently 11 brackets that cannot finish outside of the top 100 in the final standings:

Ally H. (lowest possible place: 74th)
Damien R. #1 (78th)
Ron B. (78th)
Greg F. (78th)
Josiah T. #2 (87th)
Rich F. (87th)
Ryan H. (91st)
Mike L. #2 (92nd)
Andrea A. (92nd)
Taima B. #1 (92nd)
James G. #1 (97th)

That's some really picking by those people, and they should be pretty happy regardless of how the pool turns out.

On the flip side, there are 16 brackets that can't get inside of the top 200 regardless of what happens.  Most of those you probably can already guess at if you know you can't possibly get any more points.

The bracket that has the largest possible spread between best and worst finish currently belongs to Carrie P. #2.  She can do as well as 6th and as poorly as 229th.  The reason for that is because she is already starting from a low position, but has Wisconsin winning it all, so she can move up a lot in the standings because not many people have that pick.  Sadly, she's too far back in the standings to make it into the money as she is last in points among the 6 people that picked Wisconsin to win it all.

I'm not sure what anyone can do with these stats, but I put them out there, because they were interesting to me.

Good luck!!!!!!
