***Auto-Bid Madness 2022***

At least there's a CHANCE!

I would ask you to do the math for my chances, but I don't think I wanna know. (Hence why I'm afraid to do it myself )

I will if you want, but I have to do it by hand, and it's VERY time consuming! Took me about a half hour.

A quick peek however says that if my teams win, you're screwed.

Realistically, that's all the info I need to get a sense of the odds.

These contests are good reminders why I don't bet on sports.

Welp, we're all goose-egged for Conference of the United States of America.

I forgot to mention, we have a $50 entry fee for A-BM.

My updated goal: Don't finish last.

Okay, basketball peeps...Hubby just asked me a question & neither of us can find the answer. TTU player has injured his hand and is on the bench, and he wanted to know why he didn't go to the locker room & ice it. Which left us wondering, can a player go to the locker toom during game play and still return to the game?

Yes a player can.

Note - I had an error on the leaderboard yesterday; I mistakenly marked Boise St as having lost and as a result, @CoKane @coolerifyoudid , @mharder and @ZB4CY were each credited with an extra loss. That was corrected today. Sorry about that!

The games went really late last night and some of them actually impacted the standings. I'll have my post up in a little bit; I'm working on it now.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Okay - here's where we stand. I'm not a morning person, so if you see errors PLEASE let me know! Also, Milo walked across the keyboard several times while I was doing this. I think I caught all of his "edits".

I've included the remaining five conference picks - an E indicates your pick was already eliminated in that conference. At a quick glance, @CoachHines3 doesn't have the juice to catch the other four.
As for the top four: @coolerifyoudid , @CycloneNorth and @riceville98 will tie no matter what, as they have identical remaining picks. And as near as I can tell, @BoredInKildee has it in the bag . Even if Memphis & Davidson both lose, he would still be least 2 points above the others, and the remaining three picks are identical for all of the top four.

All of us have at least one remaining team in the championships, but it's pretty much all over but the shouting. I will post a final tally tonight (especially if we have to go to the tiebreaker to determine final standings).

As for me and my plans for today -
BOILER UP!!!

Man, I dropped like the proverbial rock yesterday. My teams were the runners-up in nearly every championship.
