This was, on a selfish level, a very disappointing week for me. Corrales and Jackson might well be my two favorite cards in my frankenset, and, sadly, both were eliminated in this round. 

Corrales received more votes (27) than any other card in any of the 74 frankenset pages and was my personal pick to win it all, which made his early exit at the hands of Reed Johnson all the more shocking. And, in other news, Sombrero Bip -- a #13 seed -- continued his Cinderella run into the Sweet 16 with a narrow win over Mr. Azocar.

Just goes to show the complete and utter unpredictability of brackets.
