Re: Make your Champs predictions!

Archimedes: 469 seeds second behind 254, grabs 33 and 51 one their way to creating the first Michigan alliance since 2009. Win the finals against 987 and 254 in 3.

Curie: 2056 seeds first despite losing one late Saturday. Picks up 67 and 968 as a powerful linebacker. It's tricky, but they squeeze past 1310 in the semis and 1717 in the finals en route to the division title.

Galileo: 1241 seeds first thanks to a lucky schedule and their multi-disc auto. 1114 turns down their invite and picks 111 and 2337 from the 3rd seed. End up beating the number 8 alliance in the finals en route to Einstein.

Newton: 1986 seeds first and plows through elims with 1538 and 2194. 341 gives them a run in the finals as the 6th seed with 2826 and 217, but the Thunderchickens' lack of a climb costs their alliance in the end.

Einstein
Archimedes takes the first match, but limited FCS defence allows 968 to pin down 469. In the end, Archimedes loses to Curie's climb and dump, even though they lead after auto all three matches.

In a match this tight, it's all about the dump. Galileo ekes out the win over Newton in two matches, but only wins by 10 points each time.

Curie vs Galileo, and the only thing that's certain is Dave Verbugge's epic speeches. 968 manages to box out the beastly drivetrain of 2337, letting 67 unleash a barrage of unblocked full court threes. 2056 switches between scooping up the (few) misses and playing interference on 111. Last second dumps keep it close, but Curie wins in 2 matches. The Curie Curse is broken, HOT joins Hammond in the 4-wins club, everybody stops asking where the old RAWK went, and 2056's drive team is actually spotted smiling (I kid... mostly)

---

I think the only predictions that will be proven right are that 1114 and 67 will be the number one selections of the draft in Galileo and Curie, respectively.

I'll also predict that even if my alliances are way off, there will be at least one Canadian team on Einstein and at least 3 in the four division finals.
