It didn't help that I had typos.  The way i look at it, if all the top seeds
advance, 1w plays 2e AND 1e plays 2w setting up a possible w1 vs e1 final.
anyways, thanks for all the reponces.  Greg Berge's "wrong" responce was very
helpful, thanks Greg.  so i think i have it all figured out.  USA Today was
wrong.

ps Greg, don't bother e-mailing me again.
