NCAA tournament knock-out pool--any interest?

I'm thinking they were DQ'd because of submitting an incorrect scorecard 
Oregon for me.
Arizona for me in Round 3
I'm going to roll with Michigan... although my back is getting a little stiff and having trouble activating my glutes

Between going safe, if there is such a thing or picking with who I want to win. There is only 1 game where I feel reasonably certain who will win and that is Kansas over Purdue. With the way this tournament has gone, I probably just jinxed that. I'd like to see all upsets, except Gonzaga...I'd like to see them face Wisconsin in the f4, with the other game being Michigan vs. UCLA.....to me that would be a kick ass final 4. There is real potential for some kick ass games in the elite 8....Kansas/Michigan, UCLA/UNC, Gonzaga/Arizona, and the East matchup will be the step child in that line up, but hell, even Wisconsin/S. Carolina would be a helluva game IMO.....not suggesting that's what they will be, but those games would be insane if it played out that way!
ode I will probably have to switch back to just adding seed numbers, but for fun I was messing with making it like a golf tournament. So for the first round, there were four groups of sixteen teams, seeded 1-16. Eight is near the middle, so I called that even par. If you picked a 5-seed and they won, you were 3 over. If you picked an 8-seed, you were even. If you picked a 12-seed, you were 4 under, etc.
Four the round of 32, there are only 8 teams in each regional. I called a 4-seed even, 6-seed 2 under, etc.
Don't worry. I'll go back to adding seed numbers, and I'll double-check to make sure I got all the numbers right. The system I was messing with be becomes completely untenable in the next round.
My wife has been really sick and was hospitalized Sunday morning and I just brought her home late this evening, so I've been distracted, too. But I have all your picks written down and I'll fix it. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, I can see why Natpharm would favor the current standings, which I messed up completely.
Here's the actual leaderboard:
Spartan 18
ode 15
azgreg 14
Mike, Natpharm 13
hoss 12
How is Spartan still in? I thought he got knocked out?

I think Spartan took Michigan State over Kansas so he would be eliminated. The score in the standings reflects predicting MSU as a 9 seed winning twice.
Of course, y'all are right. Spartan is gone. Picked MSU one too many times. WD due to back spasms.
I'm still not thinking straight. Sleep-deprived and stressed out over my wife's illness. Yesterday was her 28th day of being sick.
New standings:
ode 15
azgreg 14
Mike, Natpharm 13
hoss 12
So, we have only 5 players remaining. I have third-round picks for all but ode.
Just to make sure I'm not having another brain fart, I have picks for the sweet sixteen as follows (please correct if these are wrong):
azgreg WV
mikeintopeka AZ
hoss7504 Oregon
Natpharm Michigan
ode No sweet sixteen pick yet
Please, by all means, correct me again if I am wrong yet again. Sheesh. I'm not normally this dense.
