As we move onto the Elite 8, the Sweet 16 presented us with some fierce battles as we take one step closer to declaring a champion. There have been some tough matches up to this point and they are only going to get harder as we progress through the final rounds of this tournament. So far, we have had our fair share of lopsided matches as well as many tight battles and even several upsets. We are down to two competitors per each of our four regions. While some of these were expected to make it this far, I am surprised by some as well. While I am not going to reveal who has which seed, I will reveal the seeding match-ups. In no particular order, the matches by seed are:
#1 vs. #3
#1 vs. #6
#2 vs. #4
#4 vs. #6
It will be very interesting to see how these matches play out and who will advance to the Final Four.
For this round, the first counter-service eatery to receive (25) votes or the place with the most votes after 48 hours has passed from the time of the start of each set will be the winner. You are voting for which place in each set of matches you like better taking into consideration overall quality, atmosphere, experience, etc. So, you are voting for four places (one in each set) and please feel free to comment or discuss why you voted that way as these threads are in the discussion forum. You may place your votes in the poll and/or write them out though I would prefer everyone vote by means of the poll. You are voting for one counter-service place in each match (4 total). Obviously, if you have not been to all the places, then only vote for the places you have experienced if you like. The eight poll options are not all going against one another rather they are matched up as written below so you are not picking your favorite out of the eight, but rather your favorite from each match.
