Carson York owned the middle of winter. His CFP card reached 47th, Seattle's championship put the NFL postseason entry in a share of 37th and eight successful March picks produced a tie for 32nd.
Outside that run, the board was unforgiving. Baseball finished 205th, college football tied for 198th, NFL Survivor tied for 238th and hockey tied for 212th. Four bottom-quarter results surrounded three genuinely strong brackets.
York's 1167.5 points earned 170th after a 12-place slide. Nearly all of his season's leverage lived in one impressive stretch, and the surrounding calendar charged heavily for the concentration.
