There are still two spots to be claimed in the Eclectic Eight in Random Bracket Challenge III.
The finalists in the Randy Baker Pod became official earlier today and the trend of higher-seeded teams winning continued. Perhaps the selection committee will need to take a long look in the mirror before seeing takes place for RBC IV.
In the Baker semifinals, fifth-seeded French Toast sidelined top-seeded Zamboni 73.7-26.3 and sixth-seeded Mowing the Lawn won 57.1-42.9 over second-seeded Tinikling.
That means that the six entries making their way to the Eclectic Eight are seeded 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, and 3.
Voting in the Shelly Hotzler Pod starts tomorrow.
The matchups are #1 Wiffleball vs. #5 Chicken a la King and #2 Horseback Riding vs. #3 Billy Joel. To vote, find me on Twitter @sportsdr44
We may have to go to speed-up rules for the end of RBC III since we’re looking at a potential change in conducting polls on Twitter. Stay tuned!
