[flexmaster33]

We have a new #1 in the land as Ohio State climbs the charts with wins in 16 of its last 17 games.

I'll be sending Game 23s out tonight...hope everyone is enjoying the real Madness

[Frank Martel]

As my friend from Michigan used to say:

Oh, how I hate,
Ohio state.

Well done osujacket.

The No. 1 spot has gone back to the Southeast Conference this time with the South Carolina Gamecocks...congrats to shoop76

Game 24s going out this afternoon.

[G0rgatr0n]

Still waiting for game 23 invite to be accepted. Is LSU still in this?

Ditto for me vs LSU in game 25.

He jumped in on a recent set...hoping he gets into yours soon

Hey Flex, with the power ups, do you need to hit both conditions in the "How to get it" section or is it an either or?

I hit an 8 game running streak so wonder if I've hit a power up for later on or if I also need to achieve the other condition? Thanks

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated...South Carolina remains at No. 1. Next set of games going out Wednesday

No, just hitting one of the conditions achieves a power up. Although you are allowed two star players by hitting two conditions for that specific power-up.

Hey Flex, dean00 (Fordham) hasn't logged in since 13 Jan.

How are we treating theses games? Walkover? Or some other way to not impact rankings/results etc. ideally a replacement but realise that'll be tough at this late stage

Just realised charliedesu has already taken that spot. Looks like games are backing up due to not being premium.

Games backed up due to lag time looking for a replacement...but charlie has been on pace and caught up slightly since joining in, so we're all good.

[flexmaster33]

Finishing a score/standings update through Game 27s late tonight and sending out our Game 28s (regular-season finales) in the morning.

Then it's onto the tournament phase...starting with conference tourneys where winners get automatic bids into the NCAA championship tournament.

good luck, all

Hey flex,

spreadsheet update? It's been like 4 games since the last one

[flexmaster33]

Standings update ... I will be sorting through conference tiebreaker tonight and posting the brackets for the conference tourneys. Remember winners of each conference tourney gains an automatic bid into the March Madness tournament, everyone else will have to wait for the Selection Show to see if they earned a spot.

[flexmaster33]

The Northeast tournament is waiting for one regular-season game to finish to be able to determine the seeds for some of the middle bracket spots.

[agentcom]

Do you have the full regular season rankings? I have only seen the top 10 in the OP.

[flexmaster33]

working on an update and fresh conference tourney games tonight.

[flexmaster33]

Shoop76 wins 100 credits for being #1 in the RPI at the end of the regular season — a race that wasn't decided until the final game of the regular season was completed.

Updating conference tourney brackets tonight and getting new matchups out.

[agentcom]

So no end of season full RPI update? Or maybe one at the end of the conference tourneys? (Please?)

[flexmaster33]

Getting close to punching some tickets to the tourney

[G0rgatr0n]

Arkansas with 2 upsets to make the SEC Championship. One more win and we are on to the big dance.

[flexmaster33]

Always nice to have a cinderella story in the mix...nice run Razorbacks

[G0rgatr0n]

I got to have one more to complete then Cinderella run is on!

[flexmaster33]

conference tourney brackets updated...Southeast and Great Lakes are into their championship games.
