I just posted my 3.5 predictions, and interestingly for these, the top teams are expected to advance. In some of the other events/levels, weaker teams had easy schedules or top teams tough schedules and a few surprises were predicted. But not here.
For the women, the top-4 teams are all the picks to advance, and in fact there is a virtual tie for the 3rd thru 5th picks between teams in the top-5.
For the men, 3 of the top-4 are picked, the #4 team dropping to just the #6 pick due to a tougher schedule, and the team filling their spot was T6 based on top-10 averages.
It will be interesting to see if it plays out this way or some teams surprise.
