Western Herald’s “WMU football madness” bracket is in full swing with the sweet 16 round finishing up on Sunday, leading to the Elite Eight matchups being set up to decide who is the best player in WMU football history.

Twitter votes helped decide the Sweet 16 and will still be used to help crown who moves onto the Final Four. Here is how the Sweet 16 played out.

(1) Greg Jennings (WR) defeated (4) Tim Hiller (QB), 92%-8%.
