We may have found the antidote to the Name Bracket Hacker poison that has plagued this tournament for years. Our speed run of the Elite Eight—where voters had less than 24 hours to get their selections in—resulted in the cleanest round of voting we’ve seen. Each poll was within 10 votes of each other, which either means that there was virtually no ballot stuffing or an even amount across all four polls. Considering the amount of overall votes, it seems unlikely that there was any abnormal voting at all.
Which means our final four competitors in the 2022 Detroit Lions Name Bracket tournament are all worthy challengers to the crown.
