I assume 1-16 corresponds to the ranking so Penn St 1, Duke 2, UVA 3.... and UMBC 16

Loyola is the favorite. If they lose, you're out. But if they win by 1, how would we handle the push? BRAAAAIIIN PAAAAIIIN!!!!Just for clarification
I have Loyola who is the underdog but if they lose by 1 goal I don’t get Syracuse.

This will be our line source.
I don't know how often they update linea, but I will post lines in this thread the morning of games. That is what we will use.
This came from their Twitter feed and will be the lines for the first round (if we go this weekend):

Or we bump them by .5Yeah, I hope those even number spreads don't screw things up. I should have looked closer and made sure all spreads were .5's but I didn't notice it until after randomizing the list, so I'm not gonna change it to someone's detriment now.
If two teams tie with a spread in the first round, I will advance both players (and you'll chop any prize). Next round, I'll make sure spreads are .5's (through random.org) so we don't end up with a 6- or 8-way chop...
My bad, I was going off the "10. Syracuse +1" in the transcribed table above.Not according to this post
That was actually @WedgeRock ’s bad not yours.My bad, I was going off the "10. Syracuse +1" in the transcribed table above.

Exactly, in that scenario you would capture Duke and take them to the next round. Pushes go to the favorite.
I'm so torn. in a vacuum, I would absolutely love UMBC to win ( I grew up 15 minutes from campus). I'm ambivilant about winning this bracket, but I absolutely do not in any circumstance want my brother to win. I only wish him pain.

Note: I messed up the order of the teams (flip-flopped Syracuse and John Hopkins) but I assigned the teams to the random list in or order shown. The number is your team number, not your seed (for everyone but Syracuse and John Hopkins, it's also your seed).
Will add this to the OP too. Does everyone get what happens if the underdog team loses the game but with points wins? You advance and take the favorite that didn't cover the spread.

I'd be happy if @CraigT78, @Burke, @Perthmike, Charity, or @Forty4 wins. Any MD school really (and Duke).
You really aren’t supposed to Lump Duke and Maryland in the same sentence with being Happy with any of them winning.I'd be happy if @CraigT78, @Burke, @Perthmike, Charity, or @Forty4 wins. Any MD school really (and Duke).
And Duke?!?
Right. I'm a mutt. My mother (and her whole side of the family) grew up in NC and went to Duke. I went to Duke soccer & basketball camp as a kid. My Dad went to Maryland, and I grew up there.You really aren’t supposed to Lump Duke and Maryland in the same sentence with being Happy with any of them winning.
correctSo to be clear - I am rooting for John Hopkins to win, or lose by only 1 to Notre Dame?
FYPPredictions:
John Hopkins wins it all and does not cover the spread.
