1st thru 4th and first set of eliminations.

Good evening everyone.  I’ve got a lot of cool stats for everyone tonight.  I figured out the probabilities for 2nd thru 4th.  Remember that these are based on the odds of every game being a coin flip, which they obviously aren’t, so take these with a grain of salt.  That being said, if you are mathematically eliminated, there’s no real getting around that with different weighting.

So, there are 40 people that eliminated from any of the 4 payouts.  Sadly, we bid adieu to these brackets.  Better luck next year:

Adam Yankee - Houston

Ally Her. #1 - Duke

Aloysius #1 - Arizona

Aloysius #2 - Arizona

Bill Pr. #2 - Arizona

Colston - Duke

Damien R. #1 - Texas Tech

Damien R. #2 - Duke

egavala1 - Duke

Ella D. - Duke

Eric D. - Utah State

Erin Mucc. - Florida

Faye Niem. - Duke

Hutch H. #1 - Kansas

Irene 6 - Florida

Jace D. - Furman

Jackson I. Freak - Gonzaga

Jacob Able Upsets - Arizona

Jay Hum. #1 - Arizona

Jay Hum. #2 - Arizona

Jeff Wr. - Florida

Jo D. - Hawaii

Josh Ch. #1 - Michigan

Josh Ch. #2 - Duke

Karen Chao #1 - Arizona

Kirt R. #2 - Michigan

Kylee Tru - Duke

Lizard - Arizona

Luis B. #4 - Arizona

Marc R. #1 - Arizona

Matt Hoag. - Michigan

Mike Barata - Florida

Patrick McC. #3 - Arizona

Paul Kr. - Michigan

Reid D. - Texas A&M

Roth W. - Duke

Seth Davis - Arizona

Steve Dziub. #1 - Florida

Tim N. - Arizona

Tucker D. - Gonzaga

Everyone else is still alive for something.  Fun fact, Bill Pr. #2 is dead for all 4 payouts, but still alive to win the East Region.  That’s the good news.  The bad news is that if he does win, it will be part of a 10-way tie, so that would only be a $2.50 prize.  Still, better than no prize, which is what a lot of us are going to get.

Below is the odds matrix.  It is ranked based on odds of winning anything, which means I sunned up the odds for 1st thru 4th and put them in the order of the total.  This works because you can’t win more than one spot with one bracket.  If you see the word: Initial, that means you are already out for that spot.  I will be filling this in as teams get knocked out, so you can determine who you need to fade next year.

So, here is the first matrix of the 2026 March Madness pool:

…but wait, there’s more.

I managed to find a bunch of code that makes finding the eliminations a lot easier, and I added some additional code that makes it faster for me that I’m sure no one cares about, but I am able to generate the single game eliminations for the 1st games on Thursday already.

Remember, on Thursday night there are 2 staggered double-headers.  What I am going to give you is the eliminations for each game as a stand-alone, and I’ll update everything once the first 2 games are done.  If you see your name on any of these lists, you must win that game.  There are probably a bunch of instances where no one game would knock you out, but the combination of the 2 results does.  I don’t have a great way to present that, so pay extra close attention to the matrix between the 2 games.

Here are the eliminations for the first game on Thursday:

If Purdue wins:

COOL GUY is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Dani A. #2 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Daniel Ell. is eliminated from 3rd & 4th place contention.

Dave Sr. is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Derek H is eliminated from 4th place contention.

egavala2 is eliminated from 2nd & 3rd place contention.

Elizabeth N. #1 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd & 3rd place contention.

Elliot N. is eliminated from 3rd place contention.

Harrell Rob. #1 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Harrell Rob. #2 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Harrell Rob. #4 is eliminated from 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

Hutch H. #2 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Jacob Able Chalk is eliminated from 1st & 2nd place contention.

Jason St. #1 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Jason St. #2 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Jim W is eliminated from 2nd place contention.

Kirt R. #1 is eliminated from 3rd place contention.

Klei R - Baysian is eliminated from 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

Klei R. #1 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd & 3rd place contention.

Leighton Niem. is eliminated from 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

LinVinSanity #1 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Marc R. #2 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd & 3rd place contention.

Mary Lou H is eliminated from 1st & 2nd place contention.

Matt Niem. is eliminated from 1st & 2nd place contention.

Patrick McC. #1 is eliminated from 3rd place contention.

Rob I. #1 is eliminated from 1st & 2nd place contention.

Shanky G. is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Steve Mucc #7 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

Szecho L. #2 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Valerie D. is eliminated from 3rd place contention.

If Texas wins:

Andrew D. #4 is eliminated from 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

Becky Her. #2 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

Brent E. #9 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

Brent Sw. #2 is eliminated from 2nd place contention.

Bret Torvik is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Charlotte Niem. is eliminated from 1st, 2nd & 3rd place contention.

Damien R. #3 is eliminated from 2nd place contention.

Dan Dziub. is eliminated from 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

Dawn Tru is eliminated from 1st & 2nd place contention.

DAZE 1 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd & 3rd place contention.

DAZE 5 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Ely A. #1 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Gigi I. is eliminated from 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

Gutless Bracket is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Karen Chao #2 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Luis B. #2 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Mark Sp. #2 is eliminated from 1st & 2nd place contention.

Max70 #1 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd & 3rd place contention.

Mike Lu #1 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd & 3rd place contention.

Missy Wyt. 1 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Noah N. is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Pete J. #2 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Rob I. #2 is eliminated from 2nd place contention.

Ryan Wiech. is eliminated from 1st & 2nd place contention.

Scarlett H is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Scott Her. #1 is eliminated from 3rd place contention.

Scott Her. #2 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Steve Mucc #4 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Szecho L. #1 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Szecho L. #3 is eliminated from 2nd place contention.

Tim Dziub. #1 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd & 3rd place contention.

Tim Talb. is eliminated from 1st place contention.

I love how a ton of people picked Purdue, but there are still going to be a ton of people knocked out if Purdue wins.  I’m guessing these are the people that had Gonzaga going pretty far.  Now that Gonzaga is out, they need to keep the Purdue people from getting any points, so they don’t get passed in the standings.  I love that dynamic.

Game 2 on Thursday night.

If Iowa Wins:

Brent Sw. #2 is eliminated from 2nd place contention.

Chrissy S. is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Finn D. is eliminated from 1st & 2nd place contention.

Karen Chao #2 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Klei R. #1 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Mason A. #2 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd & 3rd place contention.

Mike Lu #2 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Scarlett H is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Shanky G. is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Szecho L. #1 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Szecho L. #2 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

If Nebraska wins:

Andrew D. #4 is eliminated from 2nd place contention.

April Kohn. is eliminated from 2nd place contention.

Chris T. is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Daniel Ell. is eliminated from 3rd place contention.

Dawn Tru is eliminated from 1st & 2nd place contention.

DAZE 1 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Dylan Bow. is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Elizabeth N. #1 is eliminated from 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th place contention.

Harrell Rob. #2 is eliminated from 4th place contention.

Jim W is eliminated from 2nd place contention.

Marc R. #2 is eliminated from 1st place contention.

Pete J. #6 is eliminated from 3rd place contention.

If you don’t see your name anywhere on here, congratulations, you are probably going to survive until the second set of games.  It looks like the Iowa / Nebraska game is a bit of free roll for a lot of people.  A lot of people had Florida here, and a few people had Vanderbilt, so if you happened to have Nebraska or Iowa, this is a real opportunity to pick up 4 points on the field.

I think the real blood bath is probably going to be the Houston / Illinois game later on Thursday night.  Yikes.

Good luck to everyone!!!!!!!!
