Final 4 is set - 2 1s, a 4 and an 11. AN 11!!!!!

I always say that my favorite days of the NCAA Tournament are Selection Sunday, the day I can calculate odds of winning, the day the sacrificial bracket entered only by the seeds is eliminated from all payouts and the day Duke loses.  It looks like the tournament has given me exactly what I wanted.  Duke is out!  I kind of like this NC State team too.  I’m not sure how well they match up against Purdue, but I’m not sure well many teams do.  Still, they are a fun team to watch and an easy team to root for.

It also means that our Final 4 is set.  We have 2 1s, a 4 and an 11.  Not quite as crazy as last year, but still odd enough that no one got all 4.  Unlike last year, we have some 1s, and they are on both sides of the bracket.  That means that 42 people can get both finalists still.  I think last year, that number was 1.

The South was a pretty straight forward bracket as far as who won it.  The answer was one of the 4 people that had NC State coming out of this region, so congratulations John Mack #1.  You got 30 / 32 possible points in this region to take the $25 all by yourself.

Today represented the easiest region to predict (20.33 points / bracket in the Midwest) and the hardest (10.38 points / bracket in the South).

My only argument against NC State is that I hope it does implant some hair-brained idea that the tournament needs to expand.  I can see big conference commissioners pointing to NC State and saying – “See!  Even our mid-tier teams can make a run to the Final 4.  We should expand the bids and give them all to Power 5 conferences”.  I guarantee someone is making that case right now.  I hope they never do it.  68 is fine.  I don’t need a 17-15 Iowa team in the tournament, and I certainly don’t need another round or two.

My last favorite day, when everything is close to wrapping up is this….  It’s the day when there can be no more tie-breakers.  There are still a number of ways this could end in a tie-breaker, especially for the lower payouts.  For example, my only live bracket is that one that I put in based entirely on Ken Pom’s Offensive Efficiency rankings.  The only way I can still win is via a tiebreaker with Guillermo V.  We have all the same picks from here on out, and we have the same number of points right now.

Between the National Semi-final and the final, if it looks like we will need a tie-breaker, I’ll reach out to both people involved and ask for one.  I hope I don’t have to, but I might.

Here is the updated matrix.  There are still 19 people alive for something.
