Many player’s brackets still have a shot<\/h2>\n

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

Top Seeds Alive<\/strong><\/h3>\n

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

Still, anyway you slice it, there are still huge possibilities for anyone with any of these four teams going in the weekend. Patrick9<\/strong> and Worley360<\/strong> 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<\/strong> had a great run to 3rd place with 80 points, but has Iowa State as his overall tourney winner. aposulli<\/strong> (MI) sits in 4th place with 79 points and Joad8<\/strong> (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<\/strong>, currently in 13th place, is the top player with Illinois.<\/p>\n

Best of luck to everyone in the OSGA NCAA Bracket Challenge<\/a>. Remember, the top four places get cash prizes and OSGA Members<\/a> get an extra prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
