It is going to come down to auto hangers. The top eight will look a lot like this
1-1114
2-1902
3-330
4-67
5-254
6-968
7-111
8-233
The picking will give us alliances along the lines of
Code:
1114 330 45 1816
1902 233 229 503
67 254 2056 1625
968 111 1038 980
469 148 116 494
118 121 217 126
234 71 910 177
33 27 68 190
Expect 47, 48, 703, 1577 and 1816 to play spoiler to these picks, I could see some big moves. These are the teams that I think will shape up the final rounds, and this is what I think alliances will look like. You could see 968 go with someone else, but WildStang is such a good capper and should be able to hit in auto.
I know, really elaborate prediction, but once we get to this point I would pick number one over number two in the finals.
