Default Theoretical Question posed too late
Just a thought for future years since I should've posted this idea on Monday, but the pool I'm normally in gives differential points for upsets (e.g., if a 16 beats a 1 in the first round, 1 point for the win, 15 for the differential)

I figure the 5-8 seeds rarely go deep, so on one entry, I pick against every 5-8 seed in round one. So far so good, thanks to VCU beating Duke. Plus, my nephew, who runs the pool, went to Wake so I know he's happy.

Comments on the concept?
