It's fixed now. Thanks for the info, Imran.

I've got KY vs. Louisville in the Finals. Pitino won't know what hit him.

Well, I can't get in to confirm it... apparantly CBS is still working on their database.

Let us know Reismark when it's safe to make our picks.

And anybody know what the final decision on BYU is, or are they still trying to make up for their mistake and aren't sure how they are going to fix it yet?

I'm in, and I confirm that the brackets have been fixed. You're in the clear to make your picks.

The final decision on BYU was this:

For now, they're going to do nothing. If BYU fails to get into the Sweet 16, the situation is entirely moot. If BYU does make the Sweet 16, they will be switched with the team that makes it out of the other Spokane subregional. That subregional is in the Midwest bracket and includes Wisconsin, Weber State, Dayton, and Tulsa, with Dayton being the favorite to advance out of there. This would set up a probable third-round game with near-consensus favorite Kentucky.

why can't UNLV get it done. It is near impossible for us to get an at-large bid. And when we win the conferance playoff people like **** Vitale still ***** we don't belong.

Yeah... my school is playing Texas South. If they win... they get to play Texas. Not that I'm a huge sportsfan or anything, but this interests me.

What a treat... a victory allows you to play Texas

I hope they win and you get that chance.

But why Texas gets the honor of playing the "play to get in team" is still a total mystery

Hey you guys, Reismark set this up to count the playoff game between UNCA and Tex Southern but there is no option at sportsline and that game is tonite. Do we ignore that game now? I pick Tex South

You are picking whoever wins the play in game if you are silly enough to select them in the first round.

Does it really matter which team wins.

Reismark set it up that way BEFORE he knew we were going to end up on Sportsline again... So don't worry about that game... unless you really think either of those teams can beat Texas in the first round

Okay, go Tex Southern, you guys can knock off Texas, I know you can do it.

Don't worry about the play-in game, it doesn't count. (That's why I increased the Final Four round from 15 to 16 points, in order to maintain the perfect 300 I set up originally.)

And while I'm at it, I just got this e-mail from CBS re: the BYU situation...

quote: The placement of BYU in the South region creates the possibility that BYU would have to play on Sunday should they reach the national quarterfinals (the final 8). School policy dictates that BYU may not play on Sundays and, as a result, the NCAA may alter the bracket if BYU wins its first two games. Any changes made by the NCAA to address this situation, including switching BYU with a team from a different region, will not be reflected in our bracket. You will continue to receive points based on how far your selected teams advance. So long as a team wins in the round in which you have them selected to win, you will receive points regardless of their opponent or any change in their position in the bracket. If you haven't submitted your picks already, don't forget that the deadline in the CBS SportsLine.com Bracket Challenge, Presented by RadioShack, is 11:00 AM ET on Thursday, March 20. Be sure to make your picks early and avoid the last-minute rush before the deadline.

No, all they have to beat UConn in the first round, then beat either Stanford or San Diego, then there is a problem.

Gonzaga won a good one...

And Cal won at the buzzer over NC State.
