There's a lot going on right now, but I'll wait to post about today's championships until later when we have more news. For now let's catch up on some stuff that happened late last night and a little bit from earlier today.
For the first time possibly ever, the two finalists of one league (the Southland) were picked by a combined total of zero (0) entrants. That's right, although 50 contestants stuck with Stephen F. Austin, and 16 liked Lamar, nobody took a flier on either Northwestern State or Texas Arlington.
That's the headliner of the nine conferences (out of 31) where a majority of us didn't choose either league finalist. The others: Atlantic 10 (Temple 0, St. Joseph's 6); Colonial (Willam & Mary 0, George Mason 8); NEC (Mt. St. Mary's 0, Sacred Heart 9); Big East (Pitt 2, Georgetown 25); Big West (UC-Irvine 0, Cal-St-Fullerton 26); WAC (New Mexico State 24, Boise State 26); MAAC (Rider 23, Siena 28); and Big 10 (Illinois 0, Wisconsin 29).
Update, 8:21pm: With Tennessee (picked by 58) losing to Arkansas (picked by D Kedson), the SEC joins the list, making ten conferences with neither finalist chosen by a majority of our contestants. It doesn't even matter who wins the late semifinal, because only four entrants went with Mississippi State (N Donadio, S Leach, Marshall, M Peloso) and nobody was anywhere near Georgia.
Boy, we're good.
