Guessing the winners is okay, but I challenge everyone to guess the entire eliminations bracket for all divisions. I refuse to acknowledge any criticism of my brackets until the criticizer posts his or her own.

The following are my predicted alliances, but I am not predicting which team in the alliance will be the alliance captain.

Newton
1. 16, 67, 226
2. 971, 1902, 2669
3. 525, 924, 1727
4. 910, 1868, 1922
5. 102, 343, 1718
6. 1592, 2377, 1619
7. 706, 801, 1073
8. 20, 868, 1208

Galileo
1. 217, 1466, 2056
2. 79, 188, 1717
3. 100, 365, 1058
4. 230, 1086, 2990
5. 56, 230, 2834
6. 271, 1625, 1714
7. 2016, 2122, 3138
8. 51, 433, 1305

Curie
1. 469, 1114, 2345
2. 1649, 1676, 1732
3. 27, 88, 1251
4. 1511, 1538, 1986
5. 111, 171, 2992
6. 40, 627, 2337
7. 368, 573, 2775
8. 191, 832, 1421

Archimedes
1. 254, 1319, 1918
2. 33, 148, 180
3. 201, 330, 359
4. 25, 341, 1583
5. 118, 234, 1987
6. 103, 1540, 375
7. 604, 1124, 1519
8. 86, 71, 2753

So I predict all 1st seeds to move to Einstein. If I were to rank these alliance from strongest to weakest, they would be in the following order:

1. Curie 469, 1114, 2345
2. Galileo 217, 1466, 2056
3. Archimedes 254, 1319, 1918
4. Newton 16, 67, 226
