Prognosticators,
I’m sorry, but this one is going to set a record for brevity. Work is killing your Editor right now. I promise I’ll was poetic on the Sweet Sixteen to make up for it. Here we go:
The Games
Chalk, chalk, chalk. The favorites one almost every game as the one double-digit seed to make it to the Sweet Sixteen was NC State, who got there by barely beating your boy Jack Gohlke. Back to Chiles Jack.
The Picks
Bob “Cactus Jack.. (well, you know)” Griffin is still our leader with 470 pts. Mark and Jake are tied for second at 460 pts. Creel is in third with 450 pts. Sixteen prognosticators could still get the National Champ right, so while I’ll do a more detailed analysis before the Elite Eight, it is still “anyone’s ball game.”
Potpourri
In the Battle of the Mississippi River, prognosticators in the West (415.0 avg pts) are leading prognosticators in the East (400.0 avg pts).
In the Battle of the Bourgeoisie and Proletariat, public school graduates (418.0 avg pts) lead private school graduates (397.9 avg pts).
Sew is currently atop Jim Nantz’ Shit List (aka last place) with 320 pts. That said, Jeff “the Coch!” Cochran took Baylor to win it all and now has the lowest max total, so “the Papa” may not finish dead last.
Fuck Creighton, and yes, I remain Yours,
Neece
