Picks for II, III, and IV. As always, such picks
should not be used for any actual wagering. And if
you're wagering on quizbowl, you really need to get out
more.
II - Cornell. No one in the region looks as though
they'll come close. How many consecutive years have the
Big Red won, anyway?
III - NYU takes the title
from two-time CBI Nationals participant University of
Pen ... oh, wait, the College of New Jersey. Penn
isn't there this year, so expect a dogfight between
Delaware, TCNJ, and Delaware. Delaware's strong at trash,
but NYU may have been just a little more impressive
in winning at NAQT.
NB - this is known as
jinxing NYU.
IV - Pitt, Georgetown, GW should all
be coming - I don't think Hopkins will be. And much
as I want the Hoyas to win, I think that GW and Pitt
will be duking it out in the end. My pick is GW.
