What a wonderful analysis. I was overjoyed to see my team, REX 1727, in fine print on the bottom of the page. We hope to be one of the ones that moves up into the upper echelon one day!

Tied for the #64 rank. One person loved us with a 25th rank vote, woot.:p
With 96 teams making the eliminations in the 4 divisions, I like our odds, now we just need to execute.:D
Or you could say 343 is 14th rank of the teams in Newton.:rolleyes:
All in all fun to look at and a great post. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Dear Looking Forward,

It is a long bus ride from Michigan to Atlanta. I need to get up reeeaaaalllllyyyy early to catch the bus. I will not be able to go to bed until I read your column. Please have mercy on me and many others in my situation and release your predictions NOW!

Thank you.

Most Humbly,
Wayne TenBrink

Yeah, every single one of our elimination losses were against either 67, 217 or 469, usually some combination of them. That's what we get for competing in Michigan, I guess:rolleyes: .

I was curious, so I checked. The earliest prediction thread, Archimedes, came out at 12:01 AM on Wednesday, April 15, and the rest came out within the next three minutes.

That is REALLY late. If they come out at midnight tonight, I will not be able to view them, as the bus leaves at 11:59 sharp.

EDIT: NEVER MIND, THEY'RE OUT!!!

Good possibility, with #1 and #2 in that division.

I'm not so sure. It seems that Curie has terrible, terrible luck. In 2006 the perennial Canadian powerhouse (1114) joined forces with the perennial Michigan powerhouse of More Martians (70) and the defense forces of the Delphi Elite (48). This alliance had Einstein written aaaaaalllllllll over it. They powered their way through the bracket, winning the first finals match with ease.

Then 1114's shooter broke. I watched from the stands, as we had just finished packing up our pit. I don't remember if it broke in F1-1 or F1-2, but a timeout couldn't fix it. They lost F1-2 by a hair, and lost by a decent margin in F1-3.

[EDIT]See Karthik's post below. My memory is failing me in old age. I suppose I should probably look these things up.[/EDIT]

I think that's 1714's fault. They could have built it out of a visible material ;-)

I love the ranking and analysis. I think the list overrates some teams and underrates others, but that's the nature of the beast with prediction; no one agrees on it. Can't wait for detailed division analysis.

I've participated in a college football poll for the past few years. It's really hard to make up a list of 25 teams out of 120. It must be even harder out of 340 or 2000. It seems easy until you actually do it.

It was 70's shooter that broke. We lost F1-2 by 3 points and F1-3 by 8 points.
