Best double digit seed to win 2 games?

parlaycard · Mar 16, 2009

Im in a pool where we pick 4 teams in each region.

if your team wins, you get points for their seed number times the round.

if you picked north carolina, and they won the tourney youd get 21 points.

but if you have USC and they win 2 games, thats 30 points.

any thoughts?

I've got four that have an excellent chance:

South 11 - Temple

West 11 - Utah St
12 - Northern Iowa
13 - Miss St

I see the West getting blown up. Every year there is one region.

UNC wins 6 games to win the championship... as a #1 seed. 1 x 6 = 21??? I'm not sure how you say this works. Sounds fun though.

Read again - seed X round: 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + 1 x 3 + 1 x 4 + 1 x 5 + 1 x 6 = 21

I'm loving West Virginia. Not a double digit seed but if they go to the elite eight - 6 +12 +18 = 32. USC could be a good pick but they will have their hands full in the first round with BC. Miss. St has a shot but Washington playing in Portland may give Wash. the extra boost they need. Arizona seems like the obvious pick as they certainly could win a few rounds as a 12.

I think your best bet in that type of format would be mid tier (3-8) type teams to go a couple/few rounds. This way each team is likely to win at least one game so no one kills you and if one or 2 go deep you still get plently of value. Id throw in a WVU and Florida State but thats just me...

Arizona as a #12. They will beat Utah and then beat Cleveland State after Clev St upsets Wake.

All the input is much appreciated.
I dont know why i dont see more of these pools which actually make you use your head and make the pool fun.

Anyone can fill out the backet in 2 minutes, including my wife.

Thanks for the help and best of luck during the tourney.

And stay away from the chalk on Friday
