Damn. I filled out a bracket an ESPN the other day full of potential upsets. Just checked it. It's currently better than 99.5% of the 4.8 million submitted. I don't know what the hell I was thinking, though, I didn't pick OU.

Congrats DeyDurkies (sp) for hitting 13/16 on the OC/ESPN contest. The reason I singled him out, is he appears to have done that with just one entry. Others have 13/16, but with multiple entries.

Entering Friday, there are just 56 perfect brackets left - that's 0.0012 % of the 4,779,244 entries in the ESPN.com NCAA Tourny Challenge

I thought I was good going into today with my brackets then I just reviewed them. I might be in a little bit of trouble today.

All sweet 16 teams are still alive. I started the day off with a bang, but I got a few wrong late. Overall, I had a pretty good first day considering how crazy the play was.

I just filled it out though, didn't enter it in anything. Now I wish I would have, I think I'd be sitting in a pretty good spot.

heard that on mike and mike this morning. crazy.

I just re-evaluated my pool and realized that only 6 people out of 36 have a chance to get more max points than I can get. It seems a lot of people lost Georgetown in their elite 8, while I only lost 2 sweet 16 teams. I have a few reasonable upsets today that could really pay off.

Only missed ODU and Wake, and no Sweet 16 teams yet, so I'm looking good right now.

If A&M holds out I only lost Minnesota and Temple heading into the evening games. Much better day today!

I can lose a total of 4 today and still be in it as long as I didn't have them past the 2nd round. So far so good and MSU can still pull it out

Temple and Sienna hurt. I have picked the West spot on so far, but have really screwed up the Midwest and South.
I'm middle of the pack in my pools.

Temple hurt, I had them beating Kentucky which was kind of a dumbass move on my part. Still looking good in the other regions though.

Im up to 20-8, after losing 6 yesterday. Better than 80.3% of the ESPN Challengers. However, in the OC edition I am almost toast. Ill need WV to win it all. If they do, I do.

22-6.

Georgetown and Siena really killed me. As did Oklahoma State. I had all three in the Sweet 16. Two because of wishful thinking (hatred of Ohio State and wanting Duke to play Siena.

I should be 28-0.

Well, mine's about to go down. I was still in it with the hope that Duke would lose to Louisville, but they're down 22-4 to Cal right now.

23-5. Perfect thus far today, and Louisville has gotten within' 6 of Cal, so it's lookin' pretty good.

Day 1: 10-6. Losses were ND, Texas, Marquette, Vandy, UNLV, and Georgetown.

Day 2: 13-3. Losses were Siena, Oklahoma St., and Louisville.

Total: 23-9. Already lost two Sweet 16 teams, but my Elite 8 and beyond is still intact.

Might be the worst first round I've ever had. Yesterday was a pretty crazy day with seven lower seeds winning, but things have calmed down today with only three of the underdogs moving on to the next round.
