Sweet Sixteen voting has ended. The survey closed with 11 votes and the totals were published in the Elite Eight page. The survey for the Sweet Sixteen is being left open for anyone who wishes to look, but any votes cast after the closing time are not included in the overall totals. If you see a number response with anything other than 11, it means someone voted after the survey closed. Thanks for your understanding! - RJ
