Slow night for me...ranked the top 35 guys that I'd want right now. Hope I can get 4 from that list with my first 4 picks.
I feel like each year to win this, you need to nail your first couple of picks. Be solid in the middle rounds (with some luck/upsets or avoidance of upsets) and then just get plain lucky in the latter rounds.

You cannot have upsets of your first 2-3 rounds, that is for sure. They really need to get at least within 1 game of their projection.
The later rounds can make up for it, if you spring an upset... But rarely do those guys pull off 2 upsets, so you really only typically get an extra game. Only caveat is if you get like ~50 from a play-in 16 seed. Thats a massive win, but the risk of ~15 points and an L weighs on you.

So who will be the dude we didnt pick and goes off. Always one. My guess is someone on UAB.
I also find it interesting the number of J names. Jaylin, Jaelon, Jaydin, etc.

Guys I will kick myself with if they have good tournaments:
Mitchell, Kentucky
Pullin, Florida
Townsend, Oakland (especially if they can somehow get a S16 appearance)
