Well I know I sure can't win because Drop In and I have the same teams remaining and he's already ahead.
It looks like Hawger, Drop In and randomone have the following same teams in common:
Gonzaga North Carolina Kansas
So that pretty much leaves the wildcards as: Hawger: Virginia, Wisconsin, Texas A&M, Maryland randomone: Indiana, Oklahoma, Maryland Drop In: Wisconsin, Oklahoma
And then there's the mega-wildcard in Kirkwood who has two teams that nobody else has in Syracuse and Oregon. And a team that only one other person has in Virginia.

Good god man.......Nigel makes Ben Wallace look like Steph fucking Curry. Trumps Wall could be built already with all the damn bricks he is putting up. I can understand going cold for a game but he has been god awful every single night.

I would immediately bench any player that takes a jump shot just inside the arch.

What if we add another layer next year? We would keep the sections, but you can only pick one of each seed. It would eliminate some of the repeated teams, and make it one hell of a challenge.

Hey I'm in 2nd great! (looks & sees that Drop In has the same 3 teams left) Well, fuck. Join the club!! It looks like it pretty much comes down to Virginia for Hawger, Oklahoma for Drop In, and if Virginia, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Kansas get eliminated, then maybe Kirkwood can slide in there if Syracuse and Oregon do some heavy damage.

I haven't watched a ton of college hoops but from the little I have see I really can not stand Auguste. He is large...that is all he is. There is very little skill involved with anything that behemoth does.

I've seen him play maybe 4 times. In each of those 4 games though all he does is just truck people and reach over them because of his massive wingspan. I saw him make 1 free throw. That is the only skilled movement I saw out of him. His barber has more skill cutting that bleached fro-hawk than he does at doing anything other than being large and lanky.

This is why games aren't played on paper, but on television sets. Holy shit.

Thanks to everyone for participating. It will be interesting to see how the rule changes will change the competition. As a reminder, including myself when I check the thread, you will only be able to pick one seed per contest. The sections will still exist, but you couldn't select Kansas, Oregon, UNC, and Virginia. Only one. Thanks again.

It looks like we'll be watching on CBS networks for a while.
The NCAA has agreed to extend their 14-year, $10.8 billion March Madness television contract with CBS and Turner Sports, according to multiple sources close to the process, though they caution that no announcement is imminent. The original deal, signed in 2010, lasts through the 2024 tournament. The terms of the agreement weren’t immediately available. CBS and Turner Sports declined to comment; the NCAA did not respond to a request for comment.
SportsBusiness Journal reported in December that CBS, Turner, and the NCAA were in discussions about extending the contract—possibly until 2032—as part of a contractual look-in period.
All sides have an incentive to get an extension done now, eight years before the deal expires. The NCAA has an interest in locking in a good price for the tournament before the sports-rights bubble pops, and in doing so before a player strike or successful lawsuit or unionization radically alter the college sports landscape and devalue their product. For their part, by extending now, CBS and Turner head off the possibility that a rich network like ESPN—who bid on the March Madness package in 2010 but lost out to the combined CBS/Turner bid—drives the price up or wins the package outright.
The March Madness television contract is one of the most complex in sports broadcasting. While there are other rights packages split among broadcasters—ESPN/ABC and Turner share the NBA, while Fox and NBC share NASCAR—none involve melding such substantial resources to present a single product the way the March Madness deal does. Streaming rights for March Madness are especially valuable (think of how many people are stuck in a cubicle when the tournament begins on Thursday) which complicates things, and it’s also the biggest joint agreement between a broadcast and cable network.
Turner’s TBS hosted the NCAA men’s championship game last night, the first time the title game has been broadcast on cable. The game—including the team-specific broadcasts on TNT and TruTV—drew a 10.6 rating, down 34 percent from 2015’s 16.0 rating, and 15 percent from 2014’s 12.5 rating. The title game will return to CBS next season, and will alternate every other year thereafter.
