We haven’t moved along as fast as we should have with the first annual Colorado Pols Political Tournament, so after presenting the Sweet 16, we decided to skip ahead all the way to The Final Four.

We’ve updated the bracket (CLICK HERE to download the updated PDF) and picked a few upsets, so click below for more commentary and to view how we got from the Sweet 16 to the Final Four.

So, how did we do? Where did we go wrong? Where did we go right? And who do you think should win it all?
