Auto-Bid Madness 2016

Thanks everyone for help & patience during Auto-Bid Madness. 2016. Special "props" to ImJustKCClone for picking up pieces when my tech issues reared their ugly head.
:smile:
If my system cooperates, I will tally the results — but I assume someone else will be able to do it more quickly.

Sorry!

If any of us got more than 50% correct, I’ll be shocked.
 
Unofficial results of “Auto-Bid Madness 2016.” It’s a two-way tie for first: gipper2001 and time4cy each got 15 correct and unfortunately remain deadlocked after first tiebreaker (correct winner of Big 12, neither got it) and 2nd tiebreaker (Big Ten winner, each picked Michigan State).

I guess next season I’ll have to include at least one more tie-buster. Until then, Auto-Bid Madness will continue to promote its motto, “Two True Co-Champions!”

Below are final tallies and rank. Listed in alphabetical order within each place. If you find an error in these results, whether yours or anyone else’s, please, PM me. (it’s OK to post it in thread, but I’m more likely to see it sooner in my mail). I’ll fix mistakes as soon as I can.

Overall, scores aren't as bad as they may seem, considering how few favorites actually got the bids. Again, I apologize for such extreme technical difficulty during course of the contest. Thanks to everyone for participating. Popularity growing!
