Link to the Standings
Still need payment from 3 guys, you can send to rwdpeanut@gmail.com
Below are the conferences in action, in order of top time, and the impact they could have on our pool.
Ivy League
- The first ever Ivy league championship game is today with (3) Yale vs. (1) Princeton, not super impact to anything in the standings
- We'll either see Princeton win and a few mid pack people jump up a little bit and potentially steal a 4th spot or Yale wins and the standings don't change
Atlantic 10
- This will have some major impacts to our pool with (4) Rhode Island playing (2) VCU for the conference championship
- A Rhode Island win puts Joe into the running for the win as he would get bonus points and the 3 guys above him don't have a team in the race
- Additionally with Rhode Island, we may see some middle of the pack people jump up and make a run at 3rd or 4th place
- If VCU wins it is a lot less impactful, but then we're at the point where if you combine a Princeton and VCU win together more mid pack people start making a run at 3rd and 4th place
SEC
- (3) Arkansas takes on (1) Kentucky, so bonus points are available and this game could have a big impact on our pool
- 3 out of the top 5 in the standings have Kentucky, so a Kentucky wins strengthens their position, however Andrew has Arkansas and with the bonus points available could jump into contention for a top spot
- As with the A10 game, a (3) seed win here could also send a few middle of the pack people into contention for 3rd or 4th place
- Next year, I need to create a scenario tool that allows everyone to model out their path to victory
Sun Belt
- Nobody cares, we all lost this one!
Big 10
- This is a championship where everyone has something at stake with the outcome of the game when (8) Michigan takes on (2) Wisconsin
- 3 people have (8) seed Michigan, with a Michigan win those 3 people split $50 for the lowest winning seed; we have people currently in 14th and 23rd place that can still win money on the last day of the pool
- Additionally, $50 is up for grabs for the person(s) who most correctly predicted the combined score of the Big 10 game
- Finally, depending how the earlier games go, Sohler can win the pool with a Michigan and Kentucky win, it's great with so many things in our pool coming down to one of the last games of the day
American Athletic
- Not sure that this conference championship will have much of an impact on our pool since most of us picked (2) Cincinnati over (1) SMU
- Ryan will be rooting for SMU since he is already out of this conference and will avoid the guys above him getting a point
I will be updating the standings after each game or set of games ends today, so you should see 3 or 4 updates if you check the link after each game.
