The Plaid Wolf!

Sorry for the 24 hour delay...still no net service (waiting til Tuesday) and no access to other compys....
anyway...
One week to go and one thing is for certain....we already know the animes on this list know how to lose...what needs to be settled is 'do they know how to WIN with so much on the line?'
With that in mind, here is our final look at "The Last Four In and Last Four Out" before Selection Sunday next week....
Last Four In:
1. Magic Users Club > This team has played itself into the field at this point..and could be a major headache
2. Princess Nine > The Princesses took care of business this last week, with two wins that may have safely put them back in the tourney after it looked like they were so far down that the bubble seemed burst for good
3. Mononoke Hime > A huge win last week may have put them back in...a second win made them more secure, but a win or two more would certainly help
4. Witch Hunter Robin > the Hunters are making a last-minute effort to be included, but it remains to be seen if their overall body of work is good enough. Right now, they are the last team in.
Last Four Out:
1. Ah! My Goddess > A bad loss this week...at this point are the last team out, but a win or two more could cement their bid
2. Lupin the Third > Bad thieves, BAD THIEVES!!! When you are the LAST team in, the LAST thing you do is jeopardize your slot by LOSING to a beatable team AT HOME! That loss may end up costing them...
3. Macross > Only chance now is to run the table
4. Naruto > Weak scheduling has the ninjas with a fairly decent record, but their failure to beat any real teams will cost them here when the Committee looks at the power rankings
Also, congratulations to El Hazard, who was the first team to clinch one of the 65 bids! Two more bids are going out later today....
