3rd Annual FBGs March Madness Point Spread Bracket #1 (1 Viewer)

I'm confused. So this is all random with what teams are chosen?
My sons picks the teams out of a hat. Everyone starts with their assigned team. Games begin and the morning line on the games are what determines who wins.

Ex. I have Kentucky and you have College of the Poor. KY is favored by 30 but only wins by 26. I am now out even though KY won and you are still in it but you now advance with KY.

This plays out throughout the tourney. Last year we had several underdogs get to move on with the favorite due do the favorite not covering the point spread.

This bracket gives EVERY person a chance and it's all dependent on the point spread.

In a normal bracket like this, you'd draw out College of the Poor and know immediately that you were screwed.

Make sense now?

 
Okay, here are the official teams everyone starts with. I believe I haven't missed anyone. If you see an error, I'll do my best to fix it.

Boise St/Dayton-Angry Beavers

UCLA-Angry Beavers

Two 11 seeds - when one considers that 11 seeds have been .500 in the opening round the past few year ( so I heard, I haven't looked) I'll take it!

 
I don't like my actua team at all, but if I cover round 1 at least I have a short path to UK.

Valpo cover, VALPO/Mary cover, cover vs UK... 3 straight UK killings. It's at least a path

 
As an FYI, I will be using odds.com and the Mirage line on the day of the games. When I post the line it is considered final. And, as a reminder, the favorite must cover the spread. A push is a loss for the favored team.

 
Today's official lines. Favorite must cover! Ties against the spread are considered a loss for the favored team.

Wofford

Arkansas -7.5

Harvard

North Carolina -10

Georgia State

Baylor -9

Ole Miss

Xavier -3

Northeastern

Notre Dame -11.5

Hampton

Utah -7

Eastern Washington

Texas Southern
Arizona -23.5

Is this winner takes all? Just curious as I'll lose today anyway.
Yes, set up for WTA. However, there were talks last year between final 4 guys about a chop, I believe. Ultimately, the final 2 chopped most of it and played the final game for the rest.

 
OP has been updated with complete list of winners and who moves on with what teams. Lots of teams changing hands yesterday! Wild day of hoops for sure. Bracket is also updated.

Odds will be up soon.

 
Pizzatyme was just looking at the OP and everything looks correct but on the bracket site it doesn't show my name with Arizona it shows someone else name. (GAlmgren)

Figure I give you heads up since it looks like an error, it should show me with Arizona vs Ohio State which I also have.

Just noticed that you fixed it, thanks

OP updated with winners and losers in the round of 32. I'm scrapping the use of bracketmaker as it's going too slow. I'll post lines for today's games shortly.

 
I knew as soon as I saw I drew UVA that I was out Round One. They don't score 17 in a half, let alone beat someone by that much.
