This week is our Sweet 16(+) for Sports SE's Question of the Year Tournament. We saw several "upsets" in the quarterfinal rounds and even a tie. I look forward to this week's matchups!

A few guidelines:

One vote per user per matchup (denoted by comment)
Votes will be accepted between Mar 13 and Mar 19
For any ties, both teams will move onto the next round
Short comments to explain your vote are acceptable. For any extended discussion, go into The Clubhouse

Updated with the results of last week's round:
