There cannot be a billion dollar bracket left untarnished after all the upsets so far, could there? We haven't even completed the "second round" yet.

When Warren Buffett teamed with Quicken Loans to offer $1 billion to the college basketball couch guru with a perfect bracket, more than 11 million fans took a shot. As of 4:30 pm Friday, only 16 of them were still intact. ESPN’s bracket challenge had just 18,741 perfect picks after Thursday and 2,185 after Mercer knocked off Duke. According to Darren Rovell of ESPN, if Eastern Kentucky beats Kansas, Buffett will be off the hook.

I would imagine there is a secretary in Atlanta who has Mercer going all the way that is still in it.

Whichita state looks a little like SMU. They can shoot a lot better.
