Here we go!
Interesting bracket for a few reasons:
1. We have our first set of Byes, for top seeds Poconos, Las Vegas, and the Jersey Shore. Key West is the unlucky 1 seed who has to compete in Round 1, and it gets a formidable opponent in Smashville.
2. The Poconos region has to be the most eclectic set of locations we've ever had, even including the fact that there are only 7 in there. We have rural Pennsylvania, a lake in NY that is somehow inconvenient for everyone other than Barnard (and maybe Frank, who I assume lives in a cave nearby), the theme park capital of central Wisconsin, a German city known for Oktoberfest and Hitler (and it's not Oktoberfest), an absolute monolith in DFW, classic NOLA, and generic Charlotte.
3. Love seeing in the NFC North battle in Jersey Shore's region.
4. Ithaca vs. Kansas City, KS might be a new low for us in terms of excitement.
5. I can't wait to hear Levine bitch about how unfair this process is when he didn't even submit votes.
