Sweet 16 (2010) Rounds 5 and 6


  • Congrats, Bryan, on winning this year's competition with 354 out of 477 points. He had all four of the Final Four teams in his list.
  • Dad, Mike, and Dustin finished within four points of each other, with Mike winning second place in the competition.
  • Dustin had Duke ranked the highest (his 15-point team). Duke alone supplied over 27% of Dustin's points. Most of us only got 21-23% out of our best team.
  • Nobody had Butler ranked better than a 4-pointer.
  • Kyle had neither Duke nor Butler in his Sweet 16.
  • This was an especially tough year, with two 5-seeds making the final four. If you play strictly the favorites, you'd have no 5-seeds in your Sweet 16 at all.
Here's the final spreadsheet:

For the sake of sports geekiness, I scored a phantom entry into the competition using the the 1-4 seeds (the ones that are 'supposed' to make it to the sweet 16). I listed the number 1 seeds first in the order that would give one the best possible score, then all the 2 seeds and so on and came up with a score of 342, which would have beat everyone except Bryan. Of course, I was able to rank each seed after finding out how far in the tourney they made it. Oh, well, back to the real world.

Last year Bryan won with 431 and you came in second with 430. This was just a crazy, low year.
