Eight.

Eight teams left in the NCAA Tournament. Here's how the top eight ALACS brackets can win.

1. Jon Wang, 74 Points. Best Score: 154
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Wisconsin, Texas, UCLA
CHAMPION: UNC over UCLA
BREAKDOWN: Wang once again finds himself in the lead, even after taking a major hit in yesterday's Davidson/Wisconsin game. He has one problem, and that problem is writing this blog. If Kansas beats Davidson, The Commish will jump ahead of Wang, and the rest of their brackets are identical. Long story short: If Kansas beats Davidson, Wang can't win.

2 (tie). Brandon Seroyer, 71 Points. Best Score: 159
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Kansas, Memphis, UCLA
CHAMPION: UCLA over Kansas
BREAKDOWN: Seroyer and fellow #2 Matt Crevier share the highest possible score in the pool, as well as the exact same results for the remainer of their brackets. As Seroyer conveniently pointed out to me last night via text message, this is the third year in a row he has nailed seven of the Elite Eight teams -- and given that Seroyer has won my NCAA bracket pool the last two years, the rest of us should probably start worrying. Brandon has all four #1s in the Final Four. The bad news for Seroyer? No Florida to count on as national champ this year.

2 (tie). Matt Crevier (2), 71 Points. Best Score: 159
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Kansas, Memphis, UCLA
CHAMPION: UCLA over Kansas
BREAKDOWN: Again, Crevier and Seroyer have identical brackets from here on out -- if they both are correct, it'll come down to the Final Game Score Tiebreaker, which Crevier has at 112 and Seroyer has at 132.

4 (tie). Andy Popp (2), 70 Points. Best Score: 150
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Kansas, Pitt, UCLA
CHAMPION: UNC over UCLA
BREAKDOWN: Popp has already lost Pitt as a Final Four team; if Texas beats Memphis, Popp will be mathematically eliminated at the hands of Jon Wang.

4 (tie). Danny Hennessy, 70 Points. Best Score: 158
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Kansas, Texas, UCLA
CHAMPION: UCLA over Kansas
BREAKDOWN: Like much of the pool, the Texas/Memphis game is critical for him: if Texas and Kansas win, Hennessy jumps into the lead and controls his own destiny. If UCLA then beats Kansas in the title game, Hennessy wins the first event of the ALACS season.

6. Corey Mitchell, 69 Points. Best Score: 149
FINAL FOUR: Tennessee, Kansas, Memphis, UCLA
CHAMPION: UCLA over Kansas
BEAKDOWN: Corey has lost Tennessee out of his Final Four and because he shares the rest of his bracket with Seroyer and Crevier has already been mathematically eliminated from winning the pool.

7. Willis Barnes (2), 68 Points. Best Score: 156
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Kansas, Texas, UCLA
CHAMPION: Kansas over UCLA
BREAKDOWN: If Kansas wins, Willis wins the pool. It's that simple.

8 (tie). Alex Bratt, 67 Points. Best Score: 155
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Kansas, Memphis, UCLA
CHAMPION: UCLA over UNC
BREAKDOWN: Alex can win because he is the top person in the pool who has UCLA over UNC in the national championship. If that happens, Alex wins.

8 (tie). Mike Duin, 67 Points. Best Score: 155
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Kansas, Texas, UCLA
CHAMPION: UNC over UCLA
BREAKDOWN: Thanks to Davidson beating Wisconsin and a still-intact Final Four, The Commish still has a chance to win this thing if he nails every single remaining game. I'm praying.

8 (tie). Joe Simich, 67 Points. Best Score: 147

FINAL FOUR: UNC, Georgetown, Memphis, UCLA

CHAMPION: UCLA over UNC

BREAKDOWN: Joe's best hope is to tie for the win -- this will only be possible if Kansas loses to Davidson and he nails the rest of his bracket. In the event that happens, he and Alex Bratt will tie for the win and the tiebreaker will decide it.

8 (tie). Andrew Gay (2), 67 Points. Best Score: 147

FINAL FOUR: UNC, Kansas, Stanford, UCLA
CHAMPION: UNC over UCLA
BREAKDOWN: Gay has been mathematically eliminated from winning because he lost Stanford and shares the rest of his bracket with Wang and Popp, who are both ahead of him.

8 (tie). Ted Bergeron, 67 Points. Best Score: 147
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Kansas, Stanford, UCLA
CHAMPION: UNC over UCLA
BREAKDOWN: See Gay's explanation above. Sorry Tee.

8 (tie). Jordan Spektor, 67 Points. Best Score: 123
FINAL FOUR: Tennessee, USC, Memphis, UCLA
CHAMPION: Memphis over USC
BREAKDOWN: ...see above. Spek's done.

8 (tie). Andy Popp (1), 67 Points. Best Score: 83
FINAL FOUR: UNC, Wisconsin, Stanford, Xavier
CHAMPION: Stanford over Wiconsin
BREAKDOWN: "Simultaneous train wrecks." - the text I received from Andy as Wisconsin and Stanford both were discarded by double digits. This bracket is dead.
