Tell ya what, I'll generate a distribution of teams amongst Dave, c8ivin, mango and myself, post it and we can adjust as needed.

I've got no problem with starting w/ round 2, leaving the first picks as is, with Dave getting Syracuse and Chris getting Kentucky, and assigning Duke to Mango, so he's got a #1 pick, along with Ohio State.

I'll use Excel's random number generator each round to assign teams, and I'll rank each team by their record with in their seed number, so for example, round 3 would rank as New Mexico, Baylor, Pittsburgh, Georgetown, in that order. So whomever gets the #1 pick that round gets NM, #2 gets Baylor, #3 gets Pitt, & #4 gets Georgetown.

If this is amenable to everyone, I'll do it.

Or Chris' idea of us all banging it out (that sounds wrong) at a specific time this AM is cool, too.

Random pick order generation is complete. The way I decided ties was whomever had the higher pick in the previous round between or among the ties received the better pick in the tie.

It ended up thusly:

Round	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16
mono	1	2	4	4	3	1	4	2	4	1	1	4	1	2	2	2
Dave	2	4	2	2	4	2	2	3	2	4	3	2	4	3	1	4
mango	4	1	1	3	1	4	3	4	1	3	2	3	2	1	4	1
c8irvin	3	3	3	1	2	3	1	1	3	2	4	1	3	4	3	3

Looking at it as pick order per round totals:

order	1	2	3	4
mono 	5	5	1	5
Dave	1	7	3	5
mango	6	2	4	4
c8irvin	4	2	8	2

I have no problem with people trading teams if they don't like the outcome of this.

Since I seem to be the only responder to most recent posts, guess having Mono do it up will have to do. I'm not too thrilled about Mango getting both the Buckeyes & Duke especially since I'm before him on the way back. If you wanna give me Duke and either West Virginia or Kansas State, that'll work!! Let me know, CI

You must be on ET because you've got this PT brain yearning for a THIRD cup of coffee. Considering the timeframe, we may as well make this an "AUTOPICK" style versus a "LIVE" draft. Kinda takes some of the excitement away, but that's the way things turned out this go-round. Just drop down to a layman-level and tell me WHAT FRICKIN TEAMS I HAVE - lol

I'm CDT. It's 11am here.

I've got the pics done, and had to make some adjustments to the pick order I generated above, to avoid a player having both teams in a game. The way I decided that varied depending on who had the higher pick before.

So the team picks are as follows:

c8irvin:
[indent]Kentucky
Kansas State
Georgetown
Purdue
Temple
Notre Dame
BYU
Gonzaga
Wake Forest
Missouri
Minnesota
UTEP
Wofford
Oakland
UCSB
Lehigh[/indent]

Dave
[indent]Syracuse
Villanova
Baylor
Vanderbilt
Texas A&M
Xavier
Richmond
Texas
Florida State
Georgia Tech
Washington
Cornell
Siena
Montana
Morgan State
Arkansas-Pine Bluff[/indent]

Mango
[indent]Duke
Ohio State
New Mexico
Maryland
Butler
Marquette
Oklahoma State
California
Northern Iowa
Florida
San Diego State
New Mexico State
Siena
Sam Houston State
Robert Morris
Vermont[/indent]

monogodo
[indent]Kansas
West Virgina
Pittsburgh
Wisconsin
Michigan State
Tennessee
Clemson
UNLV
Louisville
St. Mary's
Old Dominion
Utah State
Murray State
Ohio
UNT
East Tennessee State[/indent]

Like I said, I'm open to adjusting this amongst ourselves if needed.

I actually like my default teams especially G-town, who I think (much to the chagrin of you Buckeye fans) can take out Ohio State. Mango would've NEVER seen DUKE considering OSU was his initial pick, but...thanks for your efforts Mono. Now, we got something else to root for besides the generic brackets. MM regards, Chris - Prey4Reign

I'm okay with that, and now hoping Robert Morris stops getting screwed by the refs.

*edit* never mind. Nova paid someone well.

Showing early on why this is possibly the greatest sporting event there is. Cinderellas hanging tough in all the early games with MURRAY STATE pulling off the first major SHOCKER with a buzzer-beater shot to beat Vanderbilt - WOW

They'll be lucky to take out Ohio at this point.

Whether your comment was made before or after the fact, your prophecy is PROFOUND. Since 1985, when the heavy underdog WILDCATS from VILLANOVA beat G-town, I've always despised the Hoyas. So, I make it a point to either bet on them or advance them in the tourney to GUARANTEE they stumble and sure enough....Just wished I could've seen SPIKE LEE'S face (John Thompson SR's as well) after his favorite(?) college team collapsed under the pressure.

It was during the game at some point. I forget exactly when.

But yeah, I'd rather have all my brackets go to hell and watch the Big East fail miserably. I'm pulling for Vermont big time tonight.

Fucking CBS and their fucking TV schedule..... UCSB is like 20 miles from my house.. show the FUCKING OHIO STATE GAME.

[Bacony Goodness]

Hey sorry I never posted guys my brother accidentally owned my computer with a virus and killed it but now I'm up and running again. You guys went on without me which is cool.

Up until the major upset of Kansas, I was giving Mango the inside track, but...now the door's been opened for the Buckeyes. Mono's got them plus one of many Cinderellas advancing to the Sweet 16 in St Marys, who I think can take out both Baylor and yes, even Duke to get to the Final Four!! Dave's got an ultra-LIVE dog in the Huskies, who again have a shot at the Final Four, imo. Man, it's been a while, but this year is incredibly laced with upsets, WOW!!! Can't even count CAL out of the mix. Duke better NOT be looking ahead or they'll find themselves getting MAULED by the Golden Bears!! I am elated that the west-coast teams are making some BIG noise in the tournament. Wouldn't it be something else if CAL matched up with WAS again in the FINAL FOUR, not as far-fetched as it might seem....

Revised National Championship = Ohio State 68 West Virginia 63

I have OSU-WVU in my brackets and I'm feeling good about it, that is, until they both play tomorrow.

Then we'll see.
