We are into the quarterfinals, the last eight standing. Both of these guys had to defeat an opponent previously; both did it pretty convincingly.
And then there were eight; the quarterfinals.
Let's consider some things. This isn't seeded; the best wasn't paired against the eighth best. The idea of bracketology is to make a decision (and to let you folks talk, rant, and write about potential replacements for Kyle Flood). We're looking to come up with a name, no matter who he goes up against along the way.
The other point is that we aren't considering who we could get, because there are names on this list that we wouldn't get for any number of reasons, from cost to their commitment to their current job.
