Welcome to the NCAA pool - 2009

For comments about the rules, see notes after Round 1 Thursday, (link below)

While Round 1 produced 12 upsets, Round 2 was pretty much chalk, as 14 of the Sweet 16 are seeded 1-4.
BigAng75 went an impressive 15-1 in round 2, but already has losses looming in Rounds 3-4 from Wake
Forest. Ang is in first place after 2 rounds with 56 points.

RayC is using the strength of the Round-1-best 27-5 to be in second with 53 points and no future losses
for a tournament-high possible of 109 points.

Bob McGeehan is in third place with 53 points and 106 possible.

At this point, there are still a lot of people who can win, depending on how the final 15 games shake out.

(If Excel 2010 includes sparklines, there will be a very cool way to show the leaderboard changes…)
Just a few rounds ago, Bob McGeehan was in 26th place and is now in the top 3.
BigAng75 rose from 17th place to 9th place, to 1st.
Of course, the leaders can easily fall. DianeK who enjoyed a 16-0 first day is now in 48th place.
So - there is a lot of variability remaining.

If you are within 11 points of the leader and are the first person to have selected you team as the
champion, you could easily vault into the leader board. Remember that the first team listed in the
Final Four column is that entrant's pick to win the whole tournament. So, a quick scan of the results
shows that Lenze could pick up 6 points on the pack if Memphis goes all the way.
The second team listed in the Final Four column is the runner up in the championship game.
In 6th & 7th place, Neil and Rick are the first to pick Louisville (LV) to go all the way. Neil has to cheer
for Pitt to make it to the final game while Rick is cheering for North Carolina to make it to the final game.
In 8th place, Jamie McKay is the highest ranked entry to choose Pitt as the champion. Jamie certainly has
a shot. In 14th place, Ken O'Connor is the highest-ranked entry to have Oklahoma winning the championship
If Oklahoma goes all the way, Ken still has a shot. #29 BanjoTom is the first to have Michigan State
going all the way. If that happens, the extra points could boost him into first place.

There are 15 games remaining, which means that there are 2^15 possible outcomes (that's 32,768).
When the tournament started, there were 2^63 possible outcomes, or 9.2 quintillion possible outcomes.
After Round 1, there are 2.4 billion outcomes.
After Saturday, there are 8.4 million possible outcomes.
This point, after Round 2, is the first time where my desktop computer has time to run through
all the possible scenarios. If you check back later Monday morning there will be an updated
WhoCanWin link below, where you can find all the possible ways where you can finish in
the top 3.
