Tournament - Repeat?

Question:
Will Got Gas? repeat as winners of the Golden Lunchbox Tournament?

Choices:
Yes
No

 

I think I read somewhere that the team going into the EOST as the #1 seed has never won a spring or fall EOST. Is this correct?

I am sure Nelly knows for sure, but I know for sure that Club G's is just the team to buck this trend if its true.

What happened to Fall '08?

These are unofficial until I get the verbal "Legend, you're right" in the deep Nelly voice.

Just general apathy towards the tourney by everyone so no favorite.

Are we to assume "favorite" means that team was ranked #1 by the AP going into EOST?

Favorite means the team that had the best odds of winning the EOS tourney. (per Nelly)

Legend, you're right.

Although in the past few seasons I think the AP Top 25 ranking is more credible then my "odds to win" I put out the day before the tourney. But it's still pretty accurate.
