I've got 11 of 16 still standing. 3/4 semifinalists still around.

How things currently stand, and possible scenarios to win. Picking a correct Final Four winner is worth 160 points. Picking the correct champ is worth 320 points. Only four people still have a chance to win the whole thing:
1st: Lee 750pts (Nationals): Lee has UNC losing to Nova in the Finals. So if UNC wins the semi-final game and loses the championship, to South Carolina, Lee wins.
T-2nd: Joe 740pts (Cubs): Joe has Gonzaga winning the championship over Kansas. So if Gonzaga wins, then it's a tie-breaker between he and Jeff.
T-2nd: Jeff 740pts (Athletics): Jeff also has the Zags winning it, but over Kentucky. Either way, if Gonzaga wins it all, it's a tie-breaker with Joe.
4th: Sean 710pts (Brewers): Sean cannot win. He has the same scenario as Jeff, but because Jeff and Joe already have more points, Sean can never overtake them.
5th: Nate 670pts (Royals): Nate cannot win. Nate has UCLA over the Zags in the Finals. But if the Zags make the Finals, Joe and Jeff both end up with more points.
6th: Matt 650pts (White Sox): Matt cannot win. Matt has UCLA over Nova. He won't earn another point in this pool.
7th: Mike 620pts (Phillies): Mike can actually win. Mike has UNC over Nova. So if UNC wins the Championship, Mike jumps everyone above him with the 320 points for picking the winner.
8th: Pat 550pts (Braves): Pat cannot win. He too has UNC winning it all, but over Arizona. So if UNC wins it all, he will jump above everyone else, except Mike.
9th: Jim 530pts (Pirates): Jim is done. He cannot score another point. He missed all four Final Four teams. Way to suck, Jimmy.
T-10th: Tim 510pts (Tigers): Tim cannot win. He has the same scenario as Mike up above, so if it happens, Mike wins. But Tim at least leapfrogs most of the people up above. Like Jim. Who sucks.
T-10th: Connor 510pts (Rays): Connor's random picking is the one system that picked Oregon to win in the Final Four. So if Oregon knocks off UNC, it would propel Connor up to like a tie for 5th. He can't get any higher.
12th: John 500pts (Angels): John did something remarkable. He lost one of his Final Four teams in each round. He had Maryland, who lost in the first round. Duke who lost in the Round of 32. Michigan who lost in the Sweet Sixteen and Kentucky who lost in the Elite Eight. Nice work, John!
13th: Mike 490pts (Padres): Not a bad bracket... it just didn't work out for Mike. Mike almost had half of the Final Four correct, but just missed out.

I felt 6.25%* confident in my selection of Oregon making it to the Final Four, so I'm glad that worked out.
*Due to a slight weighting to favor higher seeds, it's actually probably a little higher than this, maybe like 9-10%?

My parents always told me I was remarkable. Now I have proof.

Gonzaga's win eliminates from being able to win it all. Now it's either me, Jeff, or Philly Mike.

What each person needs to happen in order to win:
Joe: Gonzaga needs to win the Championship with a combined Champ Game score of 164 or less.
Jeff: Gonzaga needs to win the Championship with a combined Champ Game score of 166 or more.
(If the game has a total final score of 165 points, it will go all the way back to the 5th tie-breaker and Joe will win because he scored more points in Round 2.
Mike: UNC needs to win the Championship.
