NCAA 360 Double Elimination Tourney

Now that I finally have a 360..I guess I oughta make use of it.

I figured I'd try to organize something a bit different that wouldn't eat up as much time as a full blown league. Plus, leagues are tough to finish and touneys seem to have a higher connect rate as far as actually getting it done.We actually completed the 64 team NCAA CH2K6 tourney last year.

I don't think the game supports what I want to do, so it will mosty likely be done by hand with the info posted online.

I'm setting up a 32 team double elimination NCAA 07 360 tourney. The catch is that the teams involved must be rated no HIGHER than a "B" OVR. I want to make it mildly fair so there isn't an Ohio State playing Duke. I just think it'll be more interesting with B lvl teams rather than the usual A-Rated suspects.

I believe the B rated teams are: (these are Xbox ratings and I assume it's the same on the 360. My 360 is waiting on my new monitor..)

Please note that some teams are already spoken for. I have designated these teams with the *.

Arizona
*Boston College
*Colorado State
Duke (is Duke really a B?)
Fresno St
*Hawaii
*Iowa State
*Kansas State
*Maryland
*Minnesota
*Mizzou
*Miss St
*Navy
*Nevada
New Mexico
*North Carolina
Ohio
*Okie St
*Ole Miss
*Pitt
*San Diego State
Southern Miss
Stanford
*TCU
*UCLA
UNLV
UTEP
*Virginia
Wake Forest
*Washington
*Western Mich
*Wisconsin

Of course if you want a B- (or worse) team feel free to take them. Brackets will be drawn up randomly after all 32 slots are filled.

If you want to play, pick and team and secure a spot. Post a comment or send us an email.

  1. Who took my Aztecs???

    I’m in with Nevada. They shredded my first dynasty season and kept my edited team of supermen from unlocking the “#1 Offense” achievement.

    I guess I better play a few games with them…

  2. I’d be interested in playing–I’ll take Maryland.

  11. pb, is Penn State a ‘B’ team on the 360? (I dont know, I dont have it in front of me. If so, then that’s cool.)

  12. My NCAA keeps crashing. Microsoft says 10-14 days until I get my 360 back from being repaired. So if I can start as late as August 13th or so, I’d like to play with North Carolina since I guess my Clemson Tigers must be ranked a B+?

  13. I can check tonight and verify Penn State and Clemson’s ratings, but the existing list in this post isn’t entirely accurate. My Mizzou Tigers weren’t there originally. I guess the rosters and ratings differ from Xbox to 360.

  14. I’ll post an updated list when I get my monitor or someone else could throw me a bone. ;)

  15. i think psu is higher than a B…if so i’ll take Navy…my bad…pb

  16. Hi Bill,

    I would like to get in this with Ole Miss.

  17. I’d like to jump in and I’ll pick Minnesota. Gamertag is dammitmattt.

    What’s the schedule/timetable? Any other rules for the league?

  18. Anyone wanna play a practice game later tonight? I need some practice with Hawaii as I’ve never played with or against them. Gamertag is Yankeefan4444.
