Many player’s brackets still have a shot

In 2026 we’ve seen some oof the highest point totals ever in the 24 years of offering our NCAA Tournament Bracket Challenge. Picking favorites has again been a solid strategy and every team in the Final Four is represented near the top of the leaderboard.

Top Seeds Alive

A whopping 36 players have Arizona as the overall tourney winner and twenty-six took Michigan. 61 players who had either Florida or Duke are out of the running. Suprisingly just two players have UConn to win it all and yet three players somehow used a crystal ball to choose, Illinois as their National Champion.

Still, anyway you slice it, there are still huge possibilities for anyone with any of these four teams going in the weekend. Patrick9 and Worley360 are tied at the very top of the A, href=”mmx-page=%2Fleaderboard%2F” target=”_blank”>leaderboard with a whopping 81 points. Arizona is Patrick9’s pick and Michigan is Worley360’s tourney winner. West Coast Wiseguy had a great run to 3rd place with 80 points, but has Iowa State as his overall tourney winner. aposulli (MI) sits in 4th place with 79 points and Joad8 (AZ) founds out the top 5. In 6th place is one of the two players with UConn as the National Champion, BrendanP18 and longtime OSGA contest participant The Gambler, currently in 13th place, is the top player with Illinois.

Best of luck to everyone in the OSGA NCAA Bracket Challenge. Remember, the top four places get cash prizes and OSGA Members get an extra prize.
