Our field of sports broadcasters has been cut to 16, and there were some massive upsets in the first round. Lead Fox play-by-play man Joe Buck fell to hockey legend Doc Emrick in the play-by-play division, and former First Take partners Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless both lost.
Former High Noon co-host Bomani Jones took out Bayless in a blowout win, while Stephen A. Smith fell to No. 8 seed Colin Cowherd. Each of our top four seeds in the pundit region lost, as Jalen Rose and Shannon Sharpe were both ousted as well.
Polls for the second round will close at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday. New matchups will be posted soon after polls close.
