Auto-Bid Madness 2020
- Thread starter cyclones500
- Start date
With everything cancelled, this years results get wiped clean right? Right?
If it's any consolation, by my count CoachHines is 2 and 10. So you ARE beating someone!I'm the ISU of picks this year apparently.
Sad thing is, I already had nearly as many points as I did in the full contest last year.
I was a couple short.
You & I are in a three way tie for 4th with Farmberbill5. CoKane, ZB4CY & CycloneNorth are tied for first. At least, in my count.Sad thing is, I already had nearly as many points as I did in the full contest last year.
Side note: On Facebook today, my nephew posted a completely empty bracket & said "Here you go, "KC" - I'm going to win the family bracket challenge with the first ever perfect bracket".

Hey, if you wanna go ahead and tally-up the official standings, feel free. I'll give it a quick look later and clarify (or @coolerifyoudid can confirm your numbers if desired).
I have some pretty heavy work days this week & weekend and I was worried I was going to fall behind on updates. Now I already miss the scramble of keeping pace... I have no purpose! 
I'll see if this transfers over from my spreadsheet:

Thanks for compiling. Some have 12 games and others 13 -- I assume that's because you counted Yale? (Which is cool with me, just making sure I'm not missing something).
We can't use 1st two tiebreakers (BIg 12 and Big Ten results), and 3rd tiebreaker does nothing, either (most correct picks involving non-favorites) -- All of CycloneNorth and ZB wins are 1 seeds.

I normally manage several NCAA brackets. I hate rounding up the participants, but it's fun once it gets going.
I enjoy some friendly smack talk throughout the tournament. My entry into my family bracket last year was titled Better Than Brady (my nephew). We kept going back and forth throughout the tourney and kept the family chat pretty entertaining.
I'm trying to figure out a good place to get some jabs in now. My daughter will likely be the recipient! She's starting to develop some decent comebacks. So proud.
Some people's champions might already have been eliminated, like how I picked Colorado and they lost last night. If I picked like, Oregon then I'd be 7-5
Ah, that's a possibility -- I actually did think about your Pac-12 example, but last night I didn't see any other unfinished leagues when people had lost their picks already.
Since I didn't finish first, my high point was picking BU in Patriot. My other off-favorite attempts didn't work (Charleston, UNCG).
Generally I count when their team is no longer viable in a given conference, so some folks still had a chance on a pick while for others, their pick for that conference already lost. I only count the actual auto bids, so the numbers on the hit column are their current "wins".
