Dumpster Fire full of brackets edition

 Well, if you were a chalk-eating weasel, your bracket right now probably looks like a flaming pile of hot garbage.  The good news is that someone is going to have to win this pool – and that person will have taken some chances and had them pay off.

The big winner today is Kristina H.  She went ¾ and is the only remaining person to have all Final 4 teams still alive (Duke, UCLA, Villanova, Kansas).  It’s not a crazy group, but it’s looking more and more brilliant top teams bow out.

As of right now, there are only 66 entries that have a chance at anything.  That’s how devastating today was.  There was around 150 entries going into today.  But when you lose the top 2 overall seeds, and a third game was a bit of a coin toss for a lot of people, this is what you get.

I know I keep harping on this, but I love Houston.  I thought Arizona was the best team coming into the tournament and Houston was #3, so even though I got killed with Arizona, Houston looks really tough and I like to see that.

So, here’s the odds matrix:

I guess the good news is that if you survive the gauntlet of games tomorrow, it largely ends in game most of you are going to survive.  That’s nice.

If you survived this far, congratulations!  You are doing great.  A lot of people would trade places with you in a heartbeat.

Good luck tomorrow and enjoy the games!!!!
