Because the Alvarado region has been nuts so far, it makes sense that one of these battles would end in a tie.
The other three matchups went about as expected (and thus gain entry into the Sweet 16), but, as you can see, Pettis vs. Patek ended in a deadlock, 19 votes a piece. As is the usual tie-breaking procedure, I ask those who care to comment on this post to leave their choice between Pettis and Patek. The first card to receive three of these tie-breaking votes will move on to the next round.
I'll update this post once we have a winner.
EDIT: Pettis wins!

Pettis!
ReplyDeleteI second that for Pettis.
ReplyDeleteThree for Pettis.
ReplyDeleteGreen and Skaggs highlight this region for me. Hoping both make it to the next round.
ReplyDeleteI bet that White/Speier matchup ends in a tie!
ReplyDeleteI really like that Spier card. I'm surprised the race is so close.
