I was the one. I decided prior to the draw that I was fading my 6 high-seed frauds right out of the gate. Unfortunately (for me), aside from Virginia that also included Cincinnati, Auburn, Texas Tech, Purdue, and Tennessee as well (a couple of heartbreakers in there) so I'm still only middle of the pack even with the bonus points.
To give you an example of how sharp a field Murf's pool has......I'm not even in the Top-100 of the 287 entrants. I submitted this same bracket in 3 other pools, two of which utilize the exact same scoring system. In those two, I'm tied for 5th out of 111 and in 3rd out of 95. I did notice there are a ton more multiple entries in this pool but not even sure how that affects this huge disparity.
