As of the last day of 2010, I have watched 115 teams. That puts me 1/3 of the way done. I am using 346 as the total, but RPI says 345 (It is not counting New Orleans). I thought New Orleans was still classified as Division I as it transitions to Division III. It doesn't matter much since I have seen New Orleans.

You are a dedicated guy BYUfan1. My hat is off to you. I don't think I could come close watching that many teams play.

Most of the time I picks aren't that great. I am an underdog guy anyways, and seeing so many teams play makes it easy for me to rationalize how a small school can beat a bigger school in the tournament. I have to say though that I did have Butler and West Virginia going to the Final Four. I was close with Baylor-they lost to Duke, and I had Kansas like most people did. I missed on St. Mary's but I did have Murray State beating Vanderbilt and Old Dominion beating Notre Dame.
I'll be glad to give you a team breakdown. but I'm not sure if you would want to use my picks.

The number of teams is now at 150. I have completely watched every team in just one conference so far, and to nobody's surprise, it is the Big Sky Conference. A big thanks to Big Sky TV for continuing to broadcast Big Sky games over the internet for free.

I doubt I could name 115 college basketball teams....much less watch that many. I like college basketball but will usually only watch about 10 games before the tournament (and all of those will have Arkansas as one of the teams).

Now you would have to name 161 college basketball teams because that is what I am up to now. You do have one advantage over me because I have Arkansas games recorded, but I have not actually seen them play yet.
