J Conley is in 2nd and has all 4 teams left.

If UCLA beats Florida, I eliminate J Conley (and Mike Skyy) as I'll have picked up 18 points and we both have the same team (Ohio State) winning it all. But for me to pass Filo, Ohio State has to win it all. However, I expect UCLA to have a big defensive letdown against Florida once they hit the road so to speak. The key for Florida is getting a reasonable lead early.

The reason I've gone with seeded scoring is that it rewards you for picking an underdog that advances further than expected. It's always a fun challenge to find these teams so why not profit from it? Adding in seeds is essentially like factoring in the spread on games, and thus makes it much more fair if you pick an underdog and win.
