    Maximus has a very good chance too. In fact, I think he may have the best shot based on the scenario generator. Assuming Kansas wins it all.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      Okay, I've worked out my scenarios. In order to pull it off, I need one of these two final four:

      Kansas, Butler, Arizona, Kentucky

      Kansas, Florida, Arizona, Kentucky

      And then Kansas has to win in the championship game. Anything else and I'm screwed. So sorry, Pellegrino, UNC needs to go DOWN!

        If somehow Kentucky cuts down the nets, I think I can win...outside of that I think it is a stretch.

            I thought there was one scenario where you have a chance...

            If UCONN wins, HFN goes from 23rd place to $600!

              the bracket pool at my dad's work has people pick two rounds at a time. I got my ass kicked the first weekend, so I went high-risk this weekend with UConn, Butler, and VCU in the Final four. Butler will pay off handsomely, and a UConn win tonight moves me near the top.

                With Butler in...IF Arizona, VCU and Kentucky win, I would win and it would be over.

                In the same scenario, UD would win if UNC beats Kentucky.

                If Kansas beats VCU, more scenarious are in play...but in the event of an Arizona, VCU and Butler final four, the Kentucky/UNC game would be for the whole ball of Wax. I think.

                  what's this scenario generator you're talking about?

                    Its a feature on the yahoo bracket page. It lets you see how the standings would change under different scenarios. That's how I know exactly how things have to play out if I'm to win.

                        I see it now. I hadn't seen it. Now I realize that the best I can do is fourth. In that scenario Maximus wins. The crappy thing is that if we were going with just regular scoring I'd be in third right now with a chance to win the whole thing .
