The Final Four is set in the Most Influential American Bracket as Teddy Roosevelt leads the field as the upstart 12 seed in the Presidents' Bracket. Roosevelt benefited from an early upset of powerhouse Abe Lincoln and has been unchallenged since. The father of our country George Washington was no match Roosevelt and his impressive legacy as a Roughrider, a conservationist, and a progressive. Roosevelt has a ton of momentum heading into the final four.
10 seed Steven Spielberg surprised many with his victory over Steven Jobs. The Wildcard bracket appeared to be the easiest route to the final four with a controversial Thomas Paine as a two seed and though popular, Walt Disney was no dominant force as the one seed. Spielberg moved past Jobs to head into the final four. His run in this tournament is the stuff that movies are made of. Will Spielberg's script have a happy ending?
The first of two #1 seeds to advance was Martin Luther King. King's role in race relations and the Civil Rights movement still resonate with "the kids" as he has rarely been challenged in his advancement to the final four. King will be a tough out for any opponent and it appears that he has a great chance to capture the inaugural Most Influential American title.
The second #1 seed to advance is Thomas Edison. Edison has been flying under the radar but his body of work is impressive and if he can continue to build on his resume, he will challenge King in one of the semifinal contests.
The final four and championship rounds will be on Monday April 7.
