*Vicarious World's Bracket Challenge*: The Elite Eight

Only the elite teams of college ball remain in the NCAA tourney. While we all love a cinderella story, I think we love watching teams with NBA talents a wee bit more. Here are the Sweet 16 results:

win = 40 points; upset = 80 points

1) Joose's Gut- 7 wins (3 upsets):            400
2) NYC Robert- 5 wins (1 upset):           240
3) K.V. Sart- 5 wins (0 upsets):               200
4) Bluespeck- 4 wins (0 upsets):             160
4) JrKartel- 4 wins (0 upsets):                 160
6) Jersey Campbell- 3 wins (0 upsets):   120
6) Sister Campbell- 2 wins (1 upset):     120

Totals:

1) Joose's Gut:                860
2) NYC Robert:              720
3) Bluespeck:                 620
4) K.V. Sart:                   610
5) JrKartel:                     560
5) Jersey Campbell:       560
6) Sister Campbell:        450

Looks like Joose is gonna run away with the Bracket Challenge Cup this year. Picking seven out of the eight Elite Eight teams (with THREE upsets!) requires thorough collegiate basketball knowledge, or a whole bunch of luck. Either way, Joose is sittin' pretty atop the standings with three rounds left to go.

Check back on Monday morning for the standings heading into the Final Four.
