No need for fancy names. Straight and simple 8 team bracket challenge. I will post the score updates here. I will try to get a score sheet just like the other bracket challenge after each round. Let me know if you have any questions. Also, because of the 75 brackets, I was not able to PM people a confirmation or anything.
The standings will be updated at this link: 8 team Bracket Challenge Standings (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmHOQ7yBttl_dHVBY05tWE5TUDM0UllFclBvTFlxe Hc)

Does it have NDSU winning every game? Even the ones they are not playing in?

No, it's an actual legitimate bracket, sane scores as well! He did have UNI winning, but so did five other people that had NDSU winning it all, including four bison fans.

12 perfect - not too bad, that's about 7 better than pure chance would have had (random coin flips should have given this permutation 1 time every sixteen).

There were only ten perfect after two games. Five people were perfect in the quarterfinals, out of 75. The ironic part about that stat. All four home teams won.

You have no one to blame but yourself for picking the Bobcats. It's understandable when it's a homer pick, and sometimes it works out. Sure it hasn't worked out since before I was even alive (1984) but they are still entitled to hope. You though, as a fan of a winning team, should have just stuck with other reliable teams. Next time hopefully you follow that rule. :D

Final scores updated.

Top 3
Dallas Demon - 113.9
TTUEagles - 102.5
Bearkat-Backer - 98.8

Dallas Demon was a perfect 7 for 7. He also had the only exact score guess of the challenge with his 31-28 semifinal prediction.
