For those looking for a 16-team tournament, it’s time to start paying attention. And if you are just now joining in, you’ve missed one hell of an NCAA Tournament. December madness, baby!

But don’t worry, you can see how we got here. Check out the first and second rounds.

We’ve had a few upsets as Arkansas and Nebraska are still alive. The big question is: Can Cinderella keep it going and reach the Elite Eight? That’s going to be up for you to decide.

One quick note here: We are now playing at nuetral sites. The bowls made bids to host games, just like they do in the men’s basketball tourney. The games are mentioned in each capsule. The Final Four will be the Cotton and Chick-fil-A with the Rose hosting the title game. Last year the semifinals were Sugar and Fiesta with the Orange being the title game.

The Elite Eight hosts will be: Gator (Northeast), Orange (South), Alamo (Midwest) and Holiday (West). We have a good rotation, so the same bowls don’t host the same rounds every season.

The results, along with the Elite Eight matchups will be posted Wed., Dec. 30.
