I'm now 34-6, but... if Junior is to be believed, my bracket is about to turn to @#$% tomorrow. He's probably right. I have Gonzaga going nuts from three-point range tomorrow and upsetting #1 Arizona. I also have San Diego State, who barely got by New Mexico eventually knocking Gonzaga off, only to be overcome by Creighton, who then succumbs to Louisville in the Final Four. Just as you judged UConn too harshly by their two extreme losses to Louisville, I might have vastly overrated Louisville because of it. The difference is that, unlike you, I knew UConn was way better than what they showed, whereas I don't have that same knowledge about Louisville.
Ultimately, in these small pools, to win you really need to just be ahead or close to everyone who also picked the same team as you did to win it all, and within 32 points of the overall leader. For example, if Virginia wins out, Scott would likely win the pool. If the experts are correct and Michigan State wins it all, Jim M and Gloop, Jr. will be fighting it out for first. It's wayyy too early to get worried or content with your bracket!
