<p>The best of the best (worst?) have been selected after a rigorous process by the selection committee. Now it's up to you to help determine the #goacc champion of the season.</p> <p>It's come down to this, y'all. After 64 of the finest #goacc entries, the dream #goacc matchup of the tournament is finally here. Out of all of the #goacc posts I've compiled in the two plus years, this will be without a doubt the hardest vote y'all will ever have.</p>

<p>First off, the giant killer "Knowlige" was finally slain. While that was hysterical, the fact that it made it so far into the tournament was a complete shock. It was however no match for Beamer, who won convincingly, 109-70. The other semifinal was a complete rout, with Syracuse's poor spelling skills obliterating the Technician's hilarious headline, 133-46.</p>
<p>Both of these entries are worthy of the #goacc Championship, but who will win? Vote below to pick your champion!</p>

<p>The best of the best (worst?) have been selected after a rigorous process by the selection committee. Now it's up to you to help determine the #goacc champion of the season.</p> <p>Here it is, y'all. Only four of the most #goacc moments remain in our annual battle for #goacc supremacy. And yet again, we've had another massive upset (I'm sure y'all know which one it is...cannot believe this entry has made it this far). Let's not waste anymore time, and get down to the most important vote of 2015. What will be our #goacc championship?</p>

<h3>THE #goacc TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS FINAL FOUR</h3>
<h4>#1. Frank Beamer celebrates a 0-0 score heading into overtime</h4>
<h4>vs</h4>
<h4>#7. "Knowlige is power."</h4>

<p>I'm literally still in shock that Knowlige was able to move past BeeJay Anya's embrace of Karl Hess in a fairly convincing performance, winning 121-98 out of 219 total votes. Cannot believe it. Meanwhile, Beamer yet again obliterated his opponent, winning 163-57 out of 220 total votes. I've been wrong each time, but I just don't see anyway that Beamer is going to lose to Knowlige, as impressive as the #7 seed has been. Beamer has the makeup of an undisputed champion...but he has a real test in front of him here.</p>

<p>As funny as Kris from Durham not knowing NC State's mascot was, he didn't stand a chance against this one seed. Our friends to the north, and their inability to spell their own former player's name obliterated Kris from Durham, winning 171-48 out of a total 219 votes. Our final member of the #goacc Final Four, that fantastic headline from Technician Sports, barely snuck in winning 113-101 out of a total 214 votes. Again, let's be real here. That headline is amazing, but it doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell against this one seed. Will we get to see the dream #goacc matchup in the tournament finals?</p>

<p>The best of the best (worst?) have been selected after a rigorous process by the selection committee. Now it's up to you to help determine the #goacc champion of the season.</p> <p>We're down to eight of the finest #goacc entries from the past season, and man did we have some massive upsets in the Sweet Sixteen. Our first number one seed went down, and a certain upstart #7 seed continues to obliterate it's competition. Want to thank y'all again for the fantastic participation, it's awesome seeing everyone embrace the #goacc. Alright, enough talk. Y'all have some regional finals to decide!</p>

<p>With 156 out of the 255 total votes, this #1 seed easily dispatched PJ Hairston and his egregious flop, moving on to a dream one versus two matchup in the Boeheim regional. The #2 seed here won 133-122 (also receiving 255 votes), so it's obviously a lot more vulnerable here. While I suspect this regional final will be a close matchup, I like the one seed to advance here.</p>

<p>This Regional Final is obviously the most shocking of the remaining entries. I mean, never in my wildest dreams did I actually think Jameis Winston stealing crab legs would get defeated by the Technician's hilarious headline. Not only did it get defeated, it got blow out, 138-109 out of the 247 votes it received. Gracious. Did not see that coming. The #7 seed here won by a slightly less margin, winning 132-112 out of 245 total votes, but it was still a surprising result nonetheless, beating that massive bill Duke sent UNC. Both of these entries seem to have a ton of momentum here, which one will have enough to move on to the #goacc Final Four?</p>

<p>The "Knowlige is power" continued its reign of terror in the #goacc Tournament of Champions by obliterating Wake's backup QB's no good, very bad day by a tally of 190-51 out of 241 total votes. Lawd. And I thought Kentucky beat WVU badly. Meanwhile, BeeJay Anya's act of compassion towards Karl Hess obliterated Buzz Williams' Hammertime, by a talley of 152-89 out of 241 possible votes. Something has to give here, right? It's hard to doubt against Knowlige, but come on....will this really defeat this #1 seed?</p>

<p>Another dream matchup occurred here in the Beamer Regional Final, with Frank's 0-0 celebration taking on Winston's hilarious fall in the Rose Bowl against Oregon. Frank, in his Sweet Sixteen matchup won 181-57 in a rout over his Virginia Tech basketball brethren, and their inability to tell when a team is shooting a one and one. Jameis, though his proficiency for crab legs was ultimately defeated, his slip against Oregon won in a blowout over that GT-NC State sequence, 154-80 out of 234 total votes. I gotta think Frank is going to advance here again in a blowout...there's just no way this Kentucky esque #1 seed doesn't advance to the Final Four.</p>

<p>The best of the best (worst?) have been selected after a rigorous process by the selection committee. Now it's up to you to help determine the #goacc champion of the season.</p> <p>We're starting to get down to the best of the best (or, worst of the worst, depending on how you view #goacc) entries left in the tournament. We had tremendous participation yet again in the Round of 32, so let's keep that up! Now that we're down to the Sweet Sixteen, all regionals will be featured here on this post. To look at the past matchups, check out the Storystream links on the right hand side of the page. Let's not waste any more time and get down to business y'all!</p>

<p>Hooooooo boy. What a matchup. The upstart #13 seed that continues to crush it's competition in this tournament versus one of the strongest #1 seeds in the field. I don't envy y'all with this pick. That flop has been winning by large margins in terms of percentages, but will PJ's egregious acting performance be enough to overcome the sheer stupidity of misspelling the name of a player the night you retire his jersey?</p>

<p>A very chalk matchup, but one I must admit I've been looking forward to. Will the fact that someone from this area totally embarrassed himself on Jeopardy be enough to overcome the sheer lack of caring about the security at BC football games? As a sidenote, would Steve Addazio call that BC student one of his "dudes?" I think we could see the #3 seed prevail here, but we'll soon find out!</p>

<h3>THE PUBLIX REGIONAL</h3>
<p>Man did we have some major upsets in this regional, as you'll see shortly. 3 out of the 4 teams that advanced were all the lower seed in the matchup. Absolutely wild. Think of the Publix Regional as the East Regional in the current NCAA Tournament right now.</p>

<p>Man...both of these lower seeds upset their opponents in the prior round by two votes each. I cannot believe Frank Beamer staring off into space didn't make it to the Sweet Sixteen, but such is March, I suppose. At any rate, we have the potential here for a double digit seed to advance to the Elite Eight. Don't be surprised if that hilariously huge bill advances with relative ease here.</p>

<h3>THE PJ HAIRSTON REGIONAL</h3>
<p>There was a massive, massive upset in the Hairston Regional as well. This regional's namesake seed was utterly crushed in the Round of 32 by over 50 votes. Gracious. That being said, some very intriguing matchups here!</p>

<p>What a pairing of #goacc titans. I could see Buzz's fast feet dancing past this #1 seed, but I don't think it'll happen. The King's reaction to Anya's hug is just....just too much.</p>

<p>In what has to be the biggest upset of the #goacc Tournament so far, this #7 seed utterly obliterated the #2 seed in this region, sending PJ Hairston's fight with a kid at the YMCA home in a blowout. Shew, I did <b>not</b> see that one coming. At any rate, note to self: don't bet against the "Knowlige." If that #7 seed can take out PJ, I could easily see the same fate for this #3 seed.</p>

<h3>THE BEAMER REGIONAL</h3>
<p>Frank's Regional was the only one of the regionals in the Round of 32 where there was not a single upset. All of the higher ranked seeds moved on to the Sweet Sixteen, setting up some tremendous #goacc matchups.</p>

<p>Look...it's going to be hard for anyone to defeat the overall #1 seed, but it is pretty funny that Beamer gets matched up against the VT basketball team here. It still cracks me up watching that video of how none of the players move off of the sides of the lane except that one player on the court that was paying attention. Phenomenal...but don't think it'll be enough to dethrone King Beamer.</p>

<p>Though Ron Cherry gettin' funky put up a valiant effort, the #3 seed prevailed by a slim margin. I don't think that sequence of fails between the Yellow Jackets and the Pack will come remotely close to dethroning this #2 seed, as absurd as that sequence was. Come on...just look at that vine of Winston slipping and try not to laugh. You can't!</p>

<p>The best of the best (worst?) have been selected after a rigorous process by the selection committee. Now it's up to you to help determine the #goacc champion of the season.</p> <p>The Public Regional featured one somewhat surprising upset in the Opening Round, just simply because of the wide margin of victory. Most of the other matchups went about #asexpected. However, i think things could get a tad crazy here in the Round of 32, so let's get down to voting!</p>

<h3>THE PUBLIX REGIONAL ROUND OF 32</h3>
<h4>#1. Jameis Winston stole crab legs from a Publix</h4>

<p>Poor BC. Between their lack of media interest and the outright lack of security at their football games, they have some pretty hilariously sad entries. Don't think for a second though that this #9 seed stands a chance against this titanic #1 seed. Stealing crab legs from a Publix is just something you simply can't make up.</p>

<p>Man....good luck with this one y'all. Both of these are worthy of moving on to the Sweet 16, but I can't decide between either one. If I had to absolutely guess, I'd say the #5 seed will advance here, but don't quote me on that. Wouldn't be surprised if this one came down to the very last vote.</p>

<p>I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the #11 seed advanced. I just found it so surprising by how much of a margin it won by. Mike Fox's ridiculous dugout music rules didn't stand a chance here. Gracious. Frank Beamer better snap out of that trance he's in, or he might find himself eliminated here.</p>

<p>That Boeheim vine still slays me. Easily my favorite moment from Syracuse's season. How often do you see a coach play off that kind of sign from the fans? Incredible. While there were many hysterical events from that ridiculous NC State-FSU game, think Boeheim wins in a rout and advances to the Sweet 16.</p>

<p>The best of the best (worst?) have been selected after a rigorous process by the selection committee. Now it's up to you to help determine the #goacc champion of the season.</p> <p>The Boeheim regional featured the highest seed to fall thus far in our Tournament of Champions, with the four seed Mark Chapman's atrocious out call getting <i>blown out</i> by PJ Hairston's excessively egregious flop. The rest of the results were about as chalk as they can get. That being said, good luck picking between some of these matchups, because holy hell they are a doozy. Time to vote!</p>

<p>As much as I wanted Beast Mode guy to pull off the upset of the century, I knew he had no shot against this unbelievably strong one seed. I still can't get over how on earth that kind of error happens. That's just humiliating. How is Bouie supposed to feel too? Surely they provided him with a corrected jersey...right? Anyways, I must admit I was somewhat surprised by the dominating performance the Upset Daily Tar Heel Columnist in the opening round. He might give Cuse a run for their money here, but I still think the one seed advances.</p>

<p>Not only did PJ's flop upset the #4 seed in the opening round, but it did so in convincing fashion. I would be worried here if I was this #5 seed. I think PJ's flop has the staying power to make a run deep into this tournament, and I'll go so far as to predict that it will win in a blowout here too.</p>

<p>HOOOOOOO boy y'all. This is about as good as a second round matchup as one will see in this tournament. I honestly have zero idea who will win this one. Both are amazingly hysterical in their own rights. How does a student get onto the field like that and nobody notice? Will it be enough to defeat the Webdings font that Lou Holtz is spewing from his mouth?</p>

<p>Really thought that bizarre as hell video would overtake the #7 seed, but, much like Iowa obliterated Davidson last night, that hilarious chryon fail moved on to take on one of the strongest two seeds in the field. Don't think they'll have that kind of success against Kris here though...that's just a spectacularly bad answer for someone that's FROM DURHAM.</p>

<p>Perhaps the kind gesture that BeeJay showed to Karl Hess several months ago provided the good karma that allowed him to hit that game winning shot against LSU the other night. At any rate, I still can't help but laugh at the King's face here every time I look at this picture. Brice getting handsy with Rob Moxley's face is hysterical, but come on. This is like Kentucky going up against Cincinnati.</p>

<p>I'm not going to lie, I'm going to be slightly upset if the hammertime dance doesn't advance here. Just look at the dedication to his craft by Buzz Williams! He's obviously a huge fan of MC Hammer. But, it's a lot to overcome the continuing joke that is the UNC academic scandal. I think this one will be close, and ultimately the five seed will prevail.</p>

<p>By one, single, solitary vote, Frank Beamer's Dance Party advanced to the Round of 32. This was obviously the closest of all the first round matchups, and it took a BeeJay Anya esque prayer for the #6 seed to hang on and defeat that obnoxious UNC fan. However, Frank's got his work cut out for him today against this #3 seed. I think this will be where one of Frank's entries in the Tournament of Champions goes down, but perhaps that last second victory will be enough to spur some momentum.</p>

<p>Whew. Another strong matchup to close out the PJ Hairston Regional Round of 32. This upstart #7 seed absolutely obliterated it's competition in the opening round, and don't be surprised if it gives this #2 seed a scare here in the Round of 32. Still think the #2 seed advances, but this one should be very, very close.</p>

<p>The best of the best (worst?) have been selected after a rigorous process by the selection committee. Now it's up to you to help determine the #goacc champion of the season.</p> <p>The Beamer Regional featured some interesting upsets in the opening round, as y'all will see below. This was the only Regional to feature a 5/12 upset and a 6/11 upset. We had TRIPLE the amount of participation in voting as last year's tournament (absolutely awesome y'all!), so let's keep that trend going! Without further ado.......</p>

<p>That 8/9 matchup with Philip Rivers as Kenny Powers wasn't nearly as close as I thought it would be. The UVA's arena announcer's freudian slip absolutely dominated to move on to a titanic matchup with Frank Beamer's celebration. I still think Beamer here is the overwhelming favorite to win the tournament, but apparently I shouldn't underestimate this upstart 9 seed.</p>

<p>The former Duke and Ravenscroft player was the only 12 seed to advance to the Round of 32, so I'll be sure to contact the Athletic Director out at Ravenscroft to make sure they properly acknowledge this accomplishment. However, Kelly is up against yet another difficult opponent here. That vine just sums up VT's really tough season beautifully. I think Buzz Williams is eventually going to do great things in Blacksburg, but man, he's got his work cut out for him. Would be shock to see the 12 seed advance again here, but I've been known to be wrong often.</p>

<p>Well, I did nail that upset call. Never underestimate the power of Ron Cherry's #goacc abilities. And, I think he's got a fantastic shot to advance here too. There's no denying that sequence between the Yellow Jackets and the Pack is one of the most absurd stretches of football you'll ever see, but will it be enough to defeat the Legend that is Ron Cherry?</p>

<p>While this hysterical 7 seed easily dispatched its opening round opponent, I think in this matchup the six packs are going to get buzzsaw'd. Honestly, that Jameis Winston vine cracks me up every time I watch it. I will be utterly stunned if this one is even remotely close. That vine just has too much comedic firepower.</p>
