Lots of good teams with 3-4 losses as well this year, just seems like a lot of very good teams aren't getting good breaks. It's going to be an interesting day tomorrow, I think teams ranked 9-15 all have a major impact this year. Team 126, 271, 1071, 546 and I bet 230 will all be in that 9-15 area tomorrow around selection time, all those teams are solid. 126, 1071, 230 could all make serious runs if they're put with the right partners.

The way UTC is going, I think we have a lot of parity, I think about 10-11 teams really stand out, even though some aren't ranked as high as they should be, but lots of penalties and not much help from alliances are killing some very good teams. I bet the way it's all setting up, any of the top 5 seeds can really say they have an awsome shot at winning. Something I noticed since I've been in first is usually the top 2 or 3 seeds usually win, but UTC is really shapeing up to have some very strong 4-5 seeds and even the 6-7-8 seeds are going to be tougher than in previous years.

Team 20 really isn't getting the credit for being 8-0-0 (or 9-0-0)... Lots of people are looking at 69 and 126 as being the teams to beat, but team 20 is really getting the job done.
