PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"March Madness 2014: Pick 8"
Here, once again, the fun "Pick 8" pool. Since we've had this pool for several years in a row, I've trimmed the first post to just the basics. Thanks to Gothmog for introducing this game to SBOT/RTVW.

Here are the rules:
1. Each team in the tournament is assigned a point value, based on their seed. (See below).
2. Before the first game on Thursday (the play-in games don't count), you must pick 8 teams. You may pick any 8 that you like, regardless of where they appear in the bracket (although it's wisest to pick teams that won't meet each other right away).
3. For every team that you pick, they get their pre-assigned point value each time they win. Once the team loses, they can no longer get any points.
4. You cannot change teams or edit your picks after the start of the first game on Thursday
5. The winner is the person with the most total points. If there is a tie, then the tiebreaker is total number of points that will be scored by both teams in the CHAMPIONSHIP game (closest wins).

Here are how the points are assigned:
Seed....Point value per win
1............1
2-3.........2
4-5.........3
6-8.........4
9-11.......5
12-13......6
14-15......7
16..........8

If you'd like to play, then sometime before tip-off on Thursday, post your 8 teams and the total number of points you think will be scored by both teams in the championship game (to be used as a tie-breaker).

1. "Can't log in??"
A number of users (including me) found that they couldn't log in recently. There was some discussion as to whether or not to make the way to reclaim your username public or not but the fear was that someone would be able to use that information to take over your account.

If you are experiencing this issue, you can check out the facebook SBOT page or email me or anyone else who's posted recently and one of us should be able to get you the information you need promptly.

13. "Standings after Thursday's games."
Here are the current standings. This is a bit of a fake standing since all it usually means is that the leaders had more teams playing Thursday than Friday.

Would you be surprised if I said that Michigan State (9) and Duke (8) were the most popular picks? Louisville was next at 6.

Ayak, being late is playing for the 'what if' prize, much like I did in the last hockey playoff pool which I could have won, had I entered on time.

Unchosen 8: . . . . Dayton (5), Texas (4), Saint Louis (3), New Mexico (0), Wichita St (0), Memphis (0), Colorado (0), Cincinnati (0), ...Total: 12

aethelstan: . . . . Harvard (6), UConn (4), Michigan St (3), Louisville (3), SDSU (3), Kansas (0), Creighton (0), Ohio St (0), ...Total: 19
Ayak*: . . . . NDSU (6), Pittsburgh (5), Michigan St (3), Louisville (3), Wisconsin (2), Kentucky (0), UMass (0), Duke (0), ...Total: 19

And in the yet again newly re-aligned conference standings...

14. "Going into the weekend..."
Well, I've been pretty lucky so far. Only 3 of my sweet 16 are out and I was expecting all three of those to lose there.

In the pick 8, CTgirl and I have had the fewest casualties at 1 each while samboohoo and Snidget have lost half of their entries.

16. "Sweet 16 Standings"
Sunday was not kind to my bracket. I only had 2 of 8 correct after feeling pretty good after the first 3 days. Oh well. That's the way it goes.

In the pick 8 pool, there have been lots of casualties as only Gothmog has as many as 5 teams left. Snidget is down to 2.

The SEC must be feeling pretty good though as all three of its teams are still standing. The Big East was probably overseeded while the new AAC was probably underseeded.

Standings (trying a different layout. Hopefully, it's easier to read):

Halfway through the Sweet 16 round. Looks like the winner could be determined today based on the results of the games involving Iowa State, Kentucky, Tennessee and UConn. Well, and the Wisconsin game tomorrow.

Well, Obama's bracket took a hit as he had Louisville in the final four but I think his bracket is still in better shape than mine!

19. "The Final Four"
Well, Kentucky and Connecticut are sure making it interesting. Will Kentucky be the next NC State? Is this already the best ever result for a 7 seed?

20. "It all comes down to one game."
LAST EDITED ON 04-06-14 AT 00:20 AM (EST)

I have UConn and 4 people have Kentucky. I think it's pretty much guaranteed that Kentucky wins so that the pool has a winner who submitted his picks a little late and so match my feat in the last hockey playoff pool. If only someone had picked both!

Anyhow, that's for another day.

Here's where we stand:

21. "RE: It all comes down to one game."
Despite Stan's prediction above about Kentucky winning, his pick was UConn and I believe that makes him the pool winner. Conga-rats and thanks for doing all the math!!

Yep. Trying for a bit of reverse-jinx.
Thanks.

Grats, Stan, well chosen picks! It was the year of upsets.

There must be some kind of reverse jinx on hosts this year, you host and win the NCAA BB pick 'ems, I host and win the NFL playoff pick 'ems. I think we need a new rule.

Congrats Stan on your win! I love this pool. Thanks for running it. I don't follow the big teams - just the Big East and the Patriot League - but I always have a chance here!

I was so close to picking UConn instead of Villanova as one of my 8 teams. Such a hard decision: my home state team versus my college buddy, Coach Jay Wright. I went with Villanova. Oh well, there's always next year!

23. "Final Standings"
Definitely an interesting year.

Your 'Best 8' picks would be:
UConn (24), UK (20), Dayton (15), Stanford (10), Tenn (10), MSU (9), Baylor (8) and Wisconsin (8). That would have been worth... 104!!

Picking UConn and UK and nothing else would have put you in 4th in our pool. Crazy.

And, yes, I did win due to my UConn pick. My first time, I believe. Might have qualified for a top 10 finish in Gothmog's original pool but probably not.
