Yeah didn't think so

My team is going to beat the Dawgs in (not "on") the Dawg Pound.

USC- 35%
UGA-30%
OSU-15%
UVA-10%
UK- 5%
Rest of field-%5

USC-UGA finals. UGA 4-3, after finding a way to steal the dubs point.
That would give us 14 finals appearances in the last 28 tournies and even our record to 7-7 in the finals, avenging the '91 and '93 finals loses (that I witnessed.)

I'll go:

USC 40%
Uva 20%
Uga 15%
UCLA/OSU 10% each
Uky, Oklahoma, 5% each
Field 0%

I'm going USC over UVa in the finals

That's 105% total. Let's take away the 5% for Oklahoma and it all adds up.

I will be interested to see this thread as we move to the quarterfinals. It is still hard to read some of these teams until we see a round of 16 match.

Well, shoot...I'll just hold off on my predictions until afterwards & then I'll throw 100% on the champ and give everyone a big I TOLD YOU SO...hahaha

[Nostradamus]

USC -- 48 %
Georgia -- 30 %, just cause home court advantage
UVA -- 12 %
Stanford -- 10%

#1) there's a big difference b/t middle-of-the-road ACC competition at 4 singles and UCLA / USC / OSU at those positions - same w/ 3 dubs...turning things around bigtime vs some ACC opponents doesn't tell me much of anything about how things will go at the next level of competition...so yes a step in the right direction but I'll stay skeptical
#2) even some of the positions where UVA has been great like #1 dubs will likely be underdogs vs the big guns - USC, OSU, and UCLA are fantastic at that spot - did you see UCLA treat Cal and Stanford's #1 dubs teams like they were a couple of 4.5 USTA teams in back to back matches? - so again I don't know if UVA can win more than 2/4 dubs pts even if they have gotten a bit better at the lower spots

True. I can hardly imagine someone beating Cal's #1 doubles team badly. How could UCLA do that? Certainly, Virginia could never do that.

they didn't beat down klahn/thacher also in back to back matches, but yeah your guys looked good in dubs today, i'll agree with that

fortunately for uva, they really don't play any strong dubs teams til the finals - so this weakness will get hidden a bit and maybe they'll get lucky vs usc

- stanford dubs is garbage, i don't really like this klahn/thacher split where they don't even have a single good dubs team anymore

- UGA is weak at dubs, certainly no ohio st / ucla / usc...it will be crucial to avoid letting UGA get this point and the momentum of the home crowd behind them, but i think UVA should be favored
