It's down to two!



Defending Young Family Bracket Challenge Winner, Teresa Matters, and rookie Jacob Young are the only two people left in the running for the 2010 Challenge Trophy!

Much like the Young Family Challenge, a smaller and new team will take on a past Champion for the title. Butler beat Michigan State to advance to its first Championship game ever, while West Virginia choked and was unable to advance.

Teresa, Jacob, Allison, and Eric all chose the team to face Butler in the Final Game. So, here are the standings:

1. Teresa Matters - 209 points
2. Jacob Young - 177 points
3. Allison Young - 172 points
4. Brad Young - 168 points
5. Eric Young - 148 points
6. Nathaniel Abbott - 147 points
7. Robert Young - 140 points
8. Lindsey Abbot - 137 points
9. Jeremy Abbott - 127 points
10. Melissa Young - 114 points
11. Heather Abbott - 105 (Disqualified)
12. Beth Bird - 77 points

Monday night will tell the tale and for the second year in a row, the Challenge title has come down to the final game! Way to go Teresa and Jacob! I am so proud of you guys for kicking ass!

I can't believe how low scoring this challenge is (for reference, the winner had 333 points last year, this year max is 227). This was by far the weakest NCAA tournament ever and the most absurd (the set up and seeding). Huge props are deserved to Jacob and Teresa for predicting as well as they have with all of the upsets that have happened! Way to go, guys!!!
