24

Just curious, how many people are voting on this? In each match up for example.

25

In the Elite 8 round there were 58 votes, but that number seems to be growing with each round.

26

Are you voting just because of the name? if so, then this bracket is not fair

27

No it’s not about the name of the schools, it’s about voting for which school you think is better (or offers more) or voting for which school you like better. A lot of big name schools have already been eliminated.

28

Extension: Currently, both matchups are tied in voting at 50% for each school, so voting will be extended one more hour. If the matchups remain tied after another hour, voting will continue to be extended by an hour until both matchups have a majority winner.

What the heck? WHY is Duke so favored??

31

^^Good question. Imo they should have been eliminated in the Elite 8 vs. Princeton so I am very surprised they have made it so far.

32

@LBad96 Don’t underestimate the impact of a well-rounded student body! Having said that, Stanford is no slouch in that department.

33

Reminder: Voting for the Championship Matchups ends tonight at 8:00 PM EST! Get your votes in!

34

Duke University vs MIT? This bracket was probably useless.

35

^ Anything you don’t agree with must be wrong…

36

I’d like to know how statistically significant this win is (i.e how many different people voted).
