***Auto-Bid Madness 2026***

Yes this is exactly right. OOPS!

What's great is that I picked a different team from the MAAC this time, so you can see just how much diligence and intelligence is going into this

For the actual MAC, give me the Zips of Akron. I will edit my original post too.
Thanks everyone for the assist and mulligan!

Thank you!

Alerting @ImJustKCClone.

Thanks again to @Cyinthenorth for noticing.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Since MAC tournament doesn't start until Thursday, I suggest we give @CascadeClone til Tuesday to adjust the pick for it.

"Administrative decision."

Beyond that, I think we have everyone's submissions, if you could verify.

Logging the last 2 now.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Everyone is logged now.

Looks like system rebelled against your columns formatting.

Not that I'm anxious to see the list.

Perhaps the mystery will improve our standings!

Anything is worth a shot at this point!

 

[ScottyP]

by the time the first group is through, I'm questioning why I do this contest every year.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Sorry guys - it's the same way I've been doing it but it's pissed off at me for some reason. One more try and then I've got to go.

Screw it. It's making the first column way too wide. I'll type it out individually tonight (or maybe while we're on the road).

No big deal, post when it works for you. We all appreciate the time you put into tracking.

Nice! More than one way to skin a cat!!

Well this might throw a wrench into some predictions here...

Wow, hadn't seen that, thanks for posting. If Utah Valley is dropped and the bracket is altered, it allows time for updated picks, opening game is Wednesday night. And if it's reconfigured as a typical 6-team bracket, it probably won't start until Thursday (but that's my guess, not officially official, we can wait & see what unfolds).

Good thing I didn't pick Utah Valley.

Knowing my luck, Utah Valley pays up at the 11th hour and wins their conference tourney.

Isn't Utah Valley - CF favorite Dominick Nelson's old team?

If UVU is forced to vacate, I think we might be open to resubmission of picks, but I want to consult with my colleague, @ImJustKCClone (I'm also willing to get feedback from contestants about how we should proceed)

(And yes, that's Dom's former team.)

 

[cyclones500]

Update: Apparently, Utah Valley agreed to pay exit fee and is cleared to play in WAC tournament. So we probably can maintain our picks as submitted.

Utah Valley to play in WAC tournaments after resolving $1M dispute

Utah Valley and the WAC have resolved a $1 million dispute that threatened to leave the Wolverines out of the league's men's and women's basketball tournaments.

I'm almost to the point I want to finish 1-30, leaving two options:
(1) I'm near top of draft lottery.
(2) I get fired and replaced with a better version of myself.
