2026 D-III NCAA Tournament Pick'em - National Championship Game

[Tom Coughlin]

Hobart is beatable but I think they will finish off the perfect season and four peat. 3-2 with either a late third period goal or OT winner.

Welcome to our newest player, GreenBear. Unfortunately you were not one of six players who correctly picked Hamilton! Today's master picker was 4and20, who correctly picked Hamilton as the champion AND the correct score of 2-1!! Great job! Others who backed Hamilton either because they believed in them or as a strategic move are: UCBadger, PrezdeJohnson09, Lord_Zubin, ***JCB***, and Sk8save! Those 6 (or 8) points made those player real movers in the final standings!

So, here are the final standings! Oh, gee. It looks like the player with the most points is none other than your very own Pick'em host, UCBadger!
Special congratulations go to Bartman and 2ndPair who had the game lead going into the final game!

I thank everyone who played in this year's short pick'em game! It was great having all of you playing this game this year.
