Thorn 03/30/25 7:27:59 PM #121:	darn. so close to a perfect second week but then lost both games today. As for the pool I'm in I don't even think the Final Four even matters. Pretty sure I win with Florida or Auburn and lose if it's Duke or Houston. While there are a few Auburn brackets in the pool I think I'm so far ahead of them they can't catch me even with all the points they'd get in that scenario. Think I only even drop to 2nd with Duke or Houston winning (maybe 3rd with a Houston win?) --- May you find your book in this place.

KCF0107 04/01/25 6:37:32 PM #123:	Most of the top people in the Yahoo league have Florida/Houston finals or at least a Florida champion, so this Brian person cannot be surpassed by myself, swirl, Wickle, or Emerald. Assuming each round is worth 32 points, I think Nick can win if Auburn beats Florida and Houston wins the title. Naye and MMX both have Auburn over Duke in the final, so MMX cannot win, but Naye would win if that exact scenario plays out (or maybe he just needs Auburn and Duke to make the final) In short: - Brian wins unless... - Houston beats Auburn in final, then Nick wins - Auburn beats Duke in final (or possibly just both teams making the final), then Naye wins Someone can correct me if I'm wrong --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:984552797] in Links to s...
