There is a guy from Michigan who is still perfect. Not sure which site he is registered with, but it's the first known occurrence of perfection this far in.  A sponsor even gave him free tickets to the next Michigan game since that's his team.

13 of 16 with my Elite Eight alive as well

To clarify who I missed, the only 3-seed I picked into the S16 was Texas Tech. Since all four 3's made it, that's three of my missed picks. The last miss was #5 Auburn beating #4 Kansas. I DID pick #12 Oregon to get to the matchup with UVA, but no further.

Bump seeing as the tourny resumes tonight.

Purdue messes me up again. Otherwise, I picked the games right. My West bracket looks awesome right now. After 14 games there, I've only missed 2. They were both in the first round and both lost the next game anyway. My total is now 38-14 with all of my Final Four alive. But 2 of them play Friday.

Ditto on the West for me. Also 12-2 the best bracket I have. I'm 37-15 so far. My Midwest is not too bad but the other two divisions ... not so much especially my South which is pretty beat up...

I'm still perfect in the West. Every other region, well, not so much.

Just wandering around the old internet and came across this rather interesting stat regarding this years NCAA March Madness. Per "bracketodds.com'scalculator" the odds of all four #1's reaching the Finall Four this year stands at 63.7 to 1.

Well after the North Carolina loss, I have only 1 team left in the Final Four.  It was fun being in first for the first week.  Good luck to everyone else the rest of the way.

I went 3-1 Friday, but UNC busted the whole right side of my bracket. After Kentucky's win, I can only get one more win on that side if UVA beats Purdue Saturday. But I did pick the correct four on the left side of the bracket and got 6 of 8 for the Elite 8. But it kinda scares me how close Duke has come to losing the last 2 games! It's also odd how both of Friday's first 2 games were won by 17 points AND scoring 80 points won the first one but lost the second one. And then the next two games were won by 2 and 4 points respectively.

With 7 games left to play, I can still get 5 of them right. GO DUKE!!!

EDIT: I just checked the standings for the Challenge and I shot way up the list. I didn't check it at all until after the Sweet 16 was set. I figured I should check it now and I jumped up to 8th. With 3 of my Final Four and my Champion still alive, I hope to climb some more. Good luck to everyone though.
