The Classic – Week 1 Facts

The following are all facts I have compiled and observed about this year’s Eightfivethree Classic.

  • 16 entries in this year’s Eightfivethree Classic
  • 2 entries missing a champion selection. As commissioner, I have decided to select Oregon for both entries (even though one of the entries obviously doesn’t have Oregon in the finals)
  • Scores ranging from 33 to 49
  • There is a heavy Oregon and Kansas bias in this year’s Classic. Coincidentally, I have lived in both of states.
  • I am five points ahead of my brother-in-law.

And a fact not directly related to the Classic:

  • I am in first place in three of the four pick’ems that I am in.

It’s going to be tough when Oregon and Kansas meet in the Final Four. My bracket has KU winning, but I honestly would rather see Oregon win. It was a lot of fun watching Oregon beat Winthrop today and I am a little disappointed in myself for not picking Oregon to win it all. While on the theme of Oregon, I would like to commend the following brackets in the Classic for going all the way with the Ducks:

  • The Dude Abides – Cam
  • Circle Takes the Square – Dave (1)
  • ilovesports – Rachel (2)
  • Leunen Lovers – Pat (2)

(1) This choice for Oregon here by Dave deserves an extra-special commendation, as Dave lives in the middle of KU country. (2) These two entries forgot to pick a champion and, as commissioner, I have chosen Oregon for them.

  1. i swear i picked Oregon as my champion. i even picked the score. 64-78.

  2. 3 – this is the number of 1 seeds that travis has chosen to make the final four.

    0 – this is the number of one seeds that made the final four last year.

    enjoy the top while you can because it will be short lived.
