Now: Who will earn their diploma? Yes, I made an actual diploma.  It is awesome.  You want it.  Here are the contenders.

Jim Fisher (Mary Ann Likes Mary Jane)
How he can win it: The Memphis Tigers must beat the Kansas Jayhawks in the championship game.  No other combination in the finals results in a Jim Fisher victory.

Randy Pennell (Make Checks Payable To...)
How he can win it: There are several scenarios where Randy wins the champsionship.  They are:

UCLA over North Carolina
Both UCLA and Kansas in the final game, regardless of who wins.

Greg P. King (March Psychosis)
How he can win it: All other combinations of the final outcomes result in a Greg victory.  For the record, they are:

North Carolina over Memphis or UCLA
Kansas over Memphis

Who will win it? Who will come away with a PhD A.B.? Whose cuisine reigns supreme? Stay tuned.
