Tourney Challenge: Week 1

After the first week of March Madness, the goddam 'Top Seeds' chalkboard bracket has taken the lead. All in all, the first round had plenty of exciting games. (I hated seeing Drake lose, but what a finish!) Oh, and beware of the twelve seeds...

Some noteworthy stats:

-The Jaundice Eye won the first round with 25/32.
-Deni's Domination and Trader Vic won the second round with 11/16.
-George Fox placed last in both rounds.
-Deni's Domination has the most points possible remaining (1000).
-Gou Nu De's and Kassel 1 have the least points possible remaining (760).
-The only brackets that picked one of the double-digit teams in the Sweet 16 are George Fox (Villanova) and 40 oz in a Closet (Western Kentucky).
-Every bracket had Duke in the Elite Eight.
-None of the brackets has UNC -- the #1 ranked team in both polls -- winning the tournament.
-Deni's Domination is the only bracket with 7/8 Elite Eight teams still remaining.
-Kassel 1 is the only bracket with two of its Final Four eliminated. (Both Beyer and Gou Nu De's have one eliminated.)

The standings:

1) Top Seeds, 460
2) The Jaundice Eye, 450
3) Deni's Domination, 440
3) Beyer, 440
5) Hands Off Raiders, 420
