Out of 362 entries, after 16 games, we have one person who is still perfect.

Congratulations to Autumn Busby who was able to perfectly pick Thursday’s games to lead both the Standard (160 pts) and Upset (86 pts) pool – including the 4 upsets (Baylor, Minnesota, Florida and Murray State).

But as it is early, we have lots of people who are close by.  We had 10 people do a very impressive 15 out of 16.  Congratulations go out to TA Forrest, Eric Zeidler, Sam and Dougie, Anne Haines, Tanmay Gautam, Dan Fischer, Andrew Murphy, John Greene, Rudy Brown and Jennifer Ogle.

We also have another 40 entries that successfully went 14 out of 16.  So, there are a lot of folks who are doing very well at picking the early games.  Of those entries, none of them are obviously the Lunatic – he is in a tie for 230th, only getting 11 of 16 games right.

But maybe most importantly to most of us, including the Lunatic, there were no major upsets that took out teams that many of us picked to the Final 4.  And as long as your Final Four teams are hanging around, you have a chance.  It’s early in this race, and everyone will have a lot more chances to move up towards the top of the leaderboard.

Good luck to everyone!!!!!!
