Consolation prize goes to @cy2resq for having the highest score without picking Kansas to win.
Seriously, this game is built on a point system that heavily rewards players who picked the national champion. It is fun, but as an admitter loser, I would prefer a game that grants points based on risk/reward, not that I would do much better there, but at least I wouldn't be "out" just because I didn't pick the national champion. For instance, using regional seed as a multiplier would have been very interesting. If you picked Kansas to win, you get 32 points for the championship game. If you picked North Carolina to win, and if they did, you would get 256 points because they were an #8 seed.
