NCAA Day 5 - Bloodbath of the lower seeds edition

Today was a pretty chalky day.  The brackets in the South and West finished 1-2 in both cases.  I don't think there was a lot of suspense in any of the games.  The only really good thing that happened tonight was that I had dinner and beers with last year's 3rd place finisher, Szecho L.  I was pulling for his brackets tonight, but it looked pretty bad at the end of the night.

Here are the eliminations for the 4 games that happened today:

Well that was a bloodbath.  I guess with that many people still alive for spots, and a lot of common picks, it makes for a lot of carnage once one of the games is decided.  I think tomorrow's may not be as drastic.

It also means that 117 people are now fully eliminated from winning anything in the pool.  There are only 96 entries left for 4 spots.  Here are the points totals after today:

1. Matt N.: 62 (-50)

37 brackets managed to get all 4 games right today.  Unfortunately, the gutless brackets were among them.  Tomorrow, there will be some non 1-2 seeds winning, so hopefully that knocks those brackets down a little.

I decided that I'm only going to do 1st place eliminations at this point, since it's getting late and it's a bit of a pain to do 2nd, 3rd & 4th.  I will post what games eliminated what brackets at the end of the games tomorrow.  If you really want to see who you need to root for, you can go to your bracket in my "How to win" section.  That should give you a pretty good idea.

Congratulations to those that survived today.  Tomorrow is another 4 game gauntlet for your bracket to attempt to run through.

Good luck!!!!!
