Just 3 brackets still in running for Warren Buffett’s billion

[TexasTowelie]

Update from The Associated Press at 7:04 p.m.: And then there were three.

A second day of upsets left only three people with a chance to win the $1 billion prize Warren Buffet is offering for a perfect NCAA tournament bracket.

Most of the brackets were eliminated on the tournament’s first full day. The number of unblemished brackets in the Quicken Loans contest on the Yahoo Sports website kept dwindling after third-seed Duke, sixth-seed UMass and seventh-seed New Mexico lost Friday.

Only 16 people remained perfect after 10th-seeded Stanford topped New Mexico. Then Tennessee routed UMass, leaving only six people with a chance of beating the 9.2 quintillion-to-1 odds.

1. Out of how many?

I find it interesting that they never announce how many Brackets were entered. I read that Buffet had Yahoo increase their limit to 15 million, but I still don't know how many they actually have.

2. ESPN had six at about the same time.

I doubt anyone will have any after today.

3. There are now none left at Yahoo.

There may be three left at ESPN, but they don't qualify for the 1 Brazillion.

5. But at least the Longhorns won last night.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for them this year. Next year should be when everything truly gels for them though.

BTW, my best friend's son is a National Merit Scholarship finalist and is going to UT next year to join his two older brothers. All of them are going to be future engineers.

6. I was an engineering major at UT.

I'm trying not to root for either UT or KU yet.

4. CBSSports is done too.
