It seems 2007 is the year of wide-open Living Room Times pools.

Two days after the 12th annual men’s pool set the record for most contestants still alive heading into the Final Four with six, the 10th annual women’s pool tied that record last night.

Tom Greca, designer of this year’s pool logo, was the only contestant mathematically eliminated when #1 seeds North Carolina and Tennessee won their regional finals. Still alive: Josh Krause (currently in the lead), Rick Boeckler (currently 4th), Scott Fort (T-5th), Jennifer Elam (T-7th), Daniel Port (T-20th) and Brian Dupuis (T-20th).

Complete standings and scenarios after the jump.

Krause, fiancé of pool administrator Brendan Loy’s lifelong friend Diane Huffman, has 317 points out of a possible 412 points. He took the lead from Rick Boeckler yesterday when Tennessee beat Mississippi; Boeckler had picked already-eliminated Maryland.

But although Krause is sitting pretty now, his predicted national champion, UConn, has already been eliminated, so he cannot finish with a score higher than 337. This helps explain why he is so vulnerable to being overtaken from below in various scenarios. In fact, he would only win the pool in one scenario: if Rutgers defeats Tennessee in the championship game.

Kevin Hauschulz and Joey Perucki are in second and third place, respectively, with 314 and 307 points, but they are in even worse shape than Krause, scenario-wise. They cannot win the pool in any scenario, because their remaining picks are identical to Krause’s.

Defending champ Boeckler, winner of the women’s pool in 2003 and 2006, fell to fourth place with 304 points when Tennessee won, but he can still win the pool if Rutgers beats North Carolina in the title game. Boeckler, of Silver Spring, Maryland, would be the first three-time winner in Living Room Times history, and the first contestant to win the same pool in consecutive years. And with his sister, Ginny Zak, still alive in the men’s pool, an all-Boeckler championship year is still possible. (Zak will win if Ohio State beats UCLA in the men’s championship game.)

Of the rest of the Top 10 — Sandy Pilz and Scott Fort (302 points each), P.J. Wanecski and Jennifer Elam (300), Katrina Lewonczyk and Tyler Condon (297) — only Fort and Elam are still alive to win the pool. Elam, a resident of Marceline, Missouri and an Irish Trojan blog reader since Hurricane Katrina, needs North Carolina to win the championship; Fort, a 1991 UAB grad and Birmingham, Alabama resident and frequent commenter under the nickname “ScottF,” needs Tennessee to win. In either case, the opponent does not matter.

Daniel Port and Brian Dupuis, tied for 20th place with 283 points apiece, each win in one scenario: Port (a 2004 USC grad) if LSU beats North Carolina in the title game, Dupuis (a 2004 LSU grad and the 2005-06 bowl pick ‘em contest champion, known on the blog as “DUP”) if LSU beats Tennessee in the title game.

That makes the North Carolina-Tennessee semifinal potentially something of a proxy battle between the Trojans and Tigers, who famously shared a college-football national championship during Port’s and Dupuis’s senior year. But Dupuis’s Tigers will need to win the earlier semifinal against Rutgers, and then proceed to win the title, in order for it to matter.

So, to summarize those scenarios again (links go to full “what-if” standings):

UNC over LSU: Jennifer Elam wins
UNC over Rutgers: Jennifer Elam wins
Tenn over LSU: Scott Fort wins
Tenn over Rutgers: Scott Fort wins
LSU over UNC: Daniel Port wins
LSU over Tenn: Brian Dupuis wins
Rutgers over UNC: Rick Boeckler wins
Rutgers over Tenn: Josh Krause wins

The women’s Final Four is Sunday, with the title game Tuesday.
