March Madness - Eliminations for next 2 games

 Hello again.  In yesterday’s post, I gave everyone’s probabilities for winning any of the 5 places.  Today, I am going to reveal the eliminations for the first two games on Thursday.

These eliminations are “must wins” for anyone listed.  Unfortunately, because there are two games going on simultaneously, there may be instances where no one game knocks you out of some contention, but the combination of results in the two games knocks you out.

Make sure you look for your name below.  Even if you picked, say, Wisconsin to make the Elite 8, you may very well need BYU to win to stay alive because you will lose ground to fewer people than if Alabama wins.

So, in the first game:

If BYU wins:
