With the way favorites were winning,you would think the people who played it safe and bet favorites all the way through the brackets who have the final 4 teams still alive would be in contention for a prize payoff.It seems everyone from 1st to 250th place has the final 4 teams still alive.Davidson was the key team that made a person a contender this year.If you just picked favorites all the way except for also picking Davidson,you would have jumped up in standings at least 125 places.Am I exagerating a little bit on this one and overblowing the whole top seeds winning thing this year affecting the contest this way?A person should just pick favorites all the way through except for 2 teams they think will come out of nowhere to win a few games.That's the only way you will separate yourself from the log jam of people betting favorites and doing pretty well in a year like this but not having a real chance of winning.
