Now that leagues are all active that is the first sort...overall record is the second sort.

Teams are playing for good standing in their league for a seed in their conference tourney.

Overall record will be a big factor in the Selection Committee's process to choose the March Madness at-large bids, although other factors are also in place ... wins vs. the top-20, conference standing, head-to-head, etc.

James Madison is back on top in the top-20 RPI, and standings are updated

Game 19s coming soon.

For those of you who enjoy my sports themed tourneys...I just posted for the 2024 Major League Soccer season.

Standings and rankings updated...congrats to Pixar who has his Oakland Grizzlies in the No. 1 spot this week.

Also a handclap for PK1972 who led his Colorado Buffaloes to their first win of the season in overtime ...

Standings are updated...and we've got James Madison back atop the top-20 RPI with three weeks left in the regular season.

It's time to get the best conference position possible for those all-important league tourneys coming up. Win your league tourney and punch your automatic ticket into the Madness.

About to post new standings, etc. But was just noticing that the Mountain West has three teams in the top-10.
Also, this week in the SEC is a blockbuster matchup with #4 South Carolina going to #1 James Madison.

Lets go Game Cocks!

Sorry all, I've received several requests to look at the schedule link that I posted awhile back.
Didn't realize I had that restricted.
I've updated that setting, so it should be open. Just make sure you find the right link (league) that will have your team's schedule list.

My apologies. Should have had that unlocked when it first went up.

Anyone interested in another sports themed tourney...I've got three open teams remaining in the 2024 Major League Soccer season.

Hi all...
A new tourney going up...this one is a Team format (3-person teams) and election themed ... get behind your favorite muppet and see if you can lead them to the White House

Standings are updated and Nebraska pops back up to the top of the RPI rankings.

Heading into the final week of the regular season, so time to get that solid seeding for the conference tourneys and for some of us a chance to lock up regular-season conference titles and the power-ups that go with that honor.

Good luck all...some pretty tight races across most of the leagues.

Two spots open ... St. Louis or DC United in my Major League Soccer tourney if anyone is interested.

I'll be posting updated standings on a regular basis over the next few days as final results come in and we can set the league tourney brackets.

Once matchups are able to be decided I'll send those games out.

Remember, if you win your conference tourney, you get an automatic berth into March Madness, so put in your best effort. It's a great time to salvage your season (me included in this group ... lol)

Congrats to Indiana (BIG) and Nebraska (Big-8) for clinching their regular-season league titles.

Standings updated...add Gonzaga (General Marshall) to the list of regular season league champs.

We've got a few league tourney games going. I expect we will be able to get a bunch out on Monday after the weekend.

Anyone interested in a political style tourney...I'm still taking sign-ups for this one. Exploring how the Electoral College works.

If you have a team of three ready to go that's great.
If not, feel free to sign-up as a single, and I'll starting putting people together.

Hi all...it's late and I must be tired.

I created a bunch of conference tourney invites tonight and sent them out under my MLS soccer tournament header.

Go ahead and join these games, and I'll track them in my other heading and count them toward the basketball conference tourney brackets.

League tourney brackets are posted...all games out except for the Big East, which is still waiting for some bracketing to finalize.

Sorry for the update delay...sick calls had work had me swamped this past week.

I don't think I've seen mine, Michigan State vs Illinois

We are closing in on awarding some of the automatic bids to conference tourney champions. Good luck to those still in the hunt.

Are we getting a regular season final update soon? or will that come with the tournament update?

I will work on that and hope to have a regular season update before we head into the weekend.

Also, watch for an announcement about our 'live' Selection Show where the championship bracket will be revealed.

All right, final standings are updated.

A fresh top-20 has been posted...reptile Nebraska Huskers remain #1.

Just a handful of games left in the conference tourneys, so I expect I'll be able to announce the bracket coming up early next week.
