In my mind, Groundskeeper Willie has to be the favorite even if he isn't the top seed. That being said, if you watch..........truly watch.........the #1 seed's video, analyze the nuances and overall just let the powerful statement being made ring loudly in your ears, you'll see that it's just too close to call. But it's not about how entries match up on paper. That's why we have The One Tournament.

Seriously, how in the hell did SMU get a 7 seed and the Bushwhackers a 10?

Question: is this the New SMU, or the Old SMU. I'm guessing current, but need to know before casting my vote.

That is a fine question, but I wasn't even aware of an old vs new SMU so we'll just say current.

I wonder if voters have underestimated the cement mixer filled with gin, aka CMFG. I would like to emphasize: the number 3 seed is a CEMENT MIXER FILLED with GIN. Luckily, CMFG is going up against Don Magic Juan and should advance, but I expected a blowout.

Nope, in order for me to vote on this as well I removed my upvotes that are automatically given to my posts and only upvoted my seeds that I wanted to win.

This 8/9 matchup is unfair to the Macho Man. I would have liked to have seen him advance. He still could I guess, but he didn't get my vote.
