(Note: MPS means Maximum Possible Score.)

Only 6 people still have a chance to win. Interestingly enough, the current leader, matt_99, cannot finish in first no matter what happens. Matt had Kansas picked to go all the way, and while he can still pick up another 120 points from Ohio State, every possible scenario will result in someone having more points than Matt in the end.

Here's the scenarios:

If UCLA wins out, Pham 1 is the winner.

If the title game is between Florida and Georgetown, it doesn't matter who wins the game, because irishdodger would be the winner in either case.

If Ohio State defeats UCLA for the title, RichardRiot wins.

If Ohio State defeats Florida for the title, Kickerbg31 wins.

If Florida defeats Ohio State for the title, onenybrother wins.

And finally, if Georgetown defeats UCLA for the title, irishdodger and ojo_223 will finish in a tie, and the tiebreaker will be needed to determine the winner.

And now, from the Way Too Much Free Time Department... here's some default comparison brackets to measure yourself against.

All 4 default methods started out quite strong against the human selections, but all 4 default methods are beginning to fade out as we head into the Final 4.

Rank . Name .................. Pts . MPS .. Final picks
-----------------------------------------------------------
1 .... USA Today & AP polls .. 940 . 1220 . OSU over Kan
2 .... Straight seeding ...... 930 . 1330 . Fla over OSU
3 .... Sagarin's power ranking 930 . 1050 . NC over Fla
4 .... RPI ................... 880 . 1280 . OSU over UCLA

And that's it. I'm going back to bed.
