And so we have arrived at the final day — a day on which only five games are on the schedule, each worth 10 points, and only two of them have any potential impact on the pool standings.

First, a word about Saturday. It was brutal. Of the 19 games played, Jon led the way with seven correct picks. Ed and Bracket Boy each got 6 of 19. Dan, Rob and Jim each picked 5 correctly, and Greg picked 3 of 19.

Granted, upsets of teams like Tennessee, Duke and the Mighty Hoyas didn't help anything. Neither did two wins in one day by Georgia, a team none of us picked to win so much as a quarterfinal game. But still.

Anyway, at this point only Rob, Ed and Jim are still alive. Fullerton's win last night, correctly forecast by Ed and Jim, make them the only two participants capable of overtaking Rob and winning the first ever Conference Tournament Bracket Pool.

The winner, by the way, will receive a "virtual trophy." Meaning, he will almost receive a trophy.

The breakdown is as follows:

If Clemson wins the ACC final, Rob wins the pool.

If North Carolina wins the ACC final and Illinois wins the Big Ten final, Ed wins the pool.

If North Carolina wins the ACC final and Wisconsin wins the Big Ten final, Jim wins the pool.

Why? Well, because Rob picked Duke to win the ACC while Ed and Jim picked UNC. So if UNC wins, they each get 10 and Rob gets none. If Clemson wins, nobody gets any.

And because Jim picked Wisconsin to win the Big Ten while Ed and Rob picked Purdue. So if Wisconsin wins, Jim gets 10 points while Ed and Rob get none. If Illinois wins (and honestly, I really think there's a chance Illinois will be shut out in this game), then nobody gets any, and Jim can't make up the necessary ground.

In the Big 12, we all picked Kansas, so there's no movement possible there.

In the SEC, none of us has either Arkansas or Georgia winning, so no points possible there for anyone.

In the Southland, none of us has either Northwestern State or UT-Arlington, so no points possible there for anyone.

So with that in mind, here are the current standings:

Rob Biro: 285
Ed Price: 277
Jim Graziano: 270
Bracket Boy: 266
Dan Graziano: 264
Jon Graziano: 254
Greg Lester: 206

Today's schedule is as follows:

ACC FINAL

1. North Carolina
3. Clemson

BIG 12 FINAL

2. Kansas

BIG TEN FINAL

It's been swell, fellas. Enjoy the selection show. I will be on a plane and can't issue a final update until I arrive in Tampa tonight. I'm sure by then you'll have forgotten all about this. But as I said, I appreciate you guys enabling my sick addiction. And I promise, next year, we'll get going earlier and include all the conferences — not just 15.

That's right.
