Re: 2013-2014: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

Well, better late than never...here are the Overall Standings heading into the NCAA Tournament...

Points Leaders (must have picked at least 100 games)
1. 1988 - 675 Points
2. SweeneyHawksHockey - 667 Points
3. SiouxfaninSeattle - 661 Points
4. Laker Dude - 648 Points
5. all bear - 638 Points
6. FS23 - 627 Points
7. gochiefs - 624 Points
8. Aerman - 623 Points
9. Irish08 - 612 Points
10. FiveHole12 - 610 Points
11. aygwm2 - 593 Points
12. vizoroo - 590 Points
13. Shirtless Bob - 586 Points
14. drshoen - 569 Points
15. HoosierPioneer - 567 Points
16. 97osu - 564 Points
17. BCeagle - 467 Points
18. darker98 - 445 Points
19. driftryder - 323 Points
20. Terrance - 266 Points
21. mcfarljd - 178 Points
22. PcFriars13 - 172 Points
23. FearTheWarrior - 170 Points

Realistically, anyone in the top 15 or so has a shot to win the points race. There are 200 points up for grabs this week. For the Frozen Four, there will be another 200 points. That means that anyone at 20th position or below is eliminated from this particular championship. Of course, I will continue to keep track of everyone that participates, and I'll post complete and final standings after the season is finished. SweeneyHawksHockey has been on a tremendous charge. Following the Friday games of Week 15, SHH was sitting in 12th position. SHH now sits in 2nd, just 8 points behind 1988, who has been in the top 3 since Week 5 (sitting atop the leaderboard for 11 weeks). Laker Dude has faded slightly, and now sits outside the top 3 for the first time since week 6 (and sat atop the leaderboard for 6 weeks). Of course, our current leader in pick % (see below), FiveHole12 has fallen in the points race. FH12 was in the top 3 from Week 10 to 17 (and lead the points race for 2 weeks), but slipped from 5th to 10th last week. It should be a great race to the finish to see who winds up winning the top prize in pick'em...the Points Title!

Top Prediction Record (Must have picked at least 100 games)
1. FiveHole12 - 157-96-25
2. 1988 - 153-100-25
t3. SweeneyHawksHockey - 152-101-25
t3. SiouxfaninSeattle - 152-101-25
5. Aerman - 147-98-23
6. all bear - 150-103-25
7. Laker Dude - 149-104-25
8. Driftryder - 89-62-18
9. darker98 - 116-82-17
t10. Irish08 - 147-106-25
t10. Shirtless Bob - 147-106-25
12. FearTheWarrior - 63-46-10
13. drshoen - 141-104-23
14. BCeagle - 103-75-17
15. vizoroo - 134-102-22
16. FS23 - 143-110-25
17. PcFriars13 - 56-43-11
18. gochiefs - 136-107-25
19. 97osu - 135-118-25
20. HoosierPioneer - 124-109-24
21. mcfarljd - 51-48-11
22. aygwm2 - 128-125-25
23. Terrance - 68-67-15

This race is probably over. There are only 10 games left for this season. FH12 holds a 4 game edge over 1988. Given that they only picked 2 different games this week, the best 1988 can hope for is to tie FH12. Nobody else has a chance (assuming people do not change their picks before the deadline tomorrow) to unseat FH12.
