thejumper5's special bracket challenge

I want to invite you all to participate in a bracket challenge with a twist. Instead of filling out a whole bracket, you pick only 6 teams, but you may pick no more than two teams with the same seed. Points are accumuluated by multiplying the team's seed by the "round value." Second round wins are worth 1 point; third round wins are worth two; Sweet Sixteen wins are worth four; Elite 8 wins are worth eight; semifinal wins are worth 16; and a national title win is worth 32 points.
Some examples of scoring:
2008 Kansas, 1 seed: 63 points ((1+2+4+8+16+32)x1)
2010 Butler, 5 seed: 155 points ((1+2+4+8+16)x5)
1997 Chatanooga, 14 Seed: 98 points ((1+2+4)x14)
Post the six teams of your choice in this thread by 10 AM Thursday.

Looks like CNUTZ made a nice pick with Ole Miss. They'll have La Salle in the next round.

If my count is right, only eckster, Buck Russell, and OhioHawk07 are still alive to win this.

Here are the standings through the Elite 8. It's officially a two man race between eckster and Buck Russell. The Syracuse-Michigan game will determine our champion.

I picked Michigan to win it all in the bracket I filled out, currently I am a few spots from first, so if they win it, I am banking on being one of the few people in that pool that picked Michigan to win it all.

Good luck to you Mr. Russell! Since Mich. is our only hope of winning the NCAA I will be cheering for them and therefore you - to do well!! ( I still want to win this MAJOR contest! )
The best of all worlds - IOWA winss the NIT and Mich. wins the NCAA - now that would be a great way to close out the bb season!
