Too bad there's no bracket challenge this year I might have actually won the thing as I had Amherst, Whitewater, Hope & Trine in the final 4.  I took a lot of losses in the early rounds, but hopefully my four for four semifinal predictions bump my total up somewhat.  Probably not a lot (if any) had all 3 of Whitewater, Trine & Amherst advancing.

Wow! That's impressive!

[HOPEful]

I had Trine, Hope, and Amherst. I was really bullish on WW all year... but I was even more bullish on Simpson...

If they had played CNU's schedule, I'm convinced both Trine and Hope would be undefeated. I think the same of Simpson. I'm not a voter, but if I were, my rankings would go 1. Hope, 2. Trine, 3. Simpson...

My fourth team would be a toss up between Whitewater and CNU...

I had the same final 4 ... it looks like our only difference is the Whitewater v Amherst game.

Amherst, Whitewater, Hope, Trine"

Alas, currently in second but with no chance to win. Whitewater wins and Grizz jumps me, Amherst wins and MrMaus does...

I will take two Hope wins, don't care who the second one is against please

I had Hope over Whitewater with 131 points scored... it was Hope over Whitewater with 129 scored. If only they were a bit better from the line.
It's nice just to have a tournament again.

Final standings. Thank you to all who participated!

Update: The spreadsheet was unable to be uploaded...evidently, putting it in this in a table doesn't make it easy to read. Let me try to figure out how to upload the spreadsheet as it is saying the system has an error.

I'll happily take second every year if my team finishes first

[CNU85]

Congrats to Hope! A very impressive team!

Would have love to have had him participate, but had needed all brackets before the tournament started...hope to have him next year! I'll certainly run it again if there's enough interest

[RogK]

Those are strict rules, T T T C / R Z!
I could've gotten three of the final four, if allowed to predict retroactively.
