Second-Place Showdown

In honor of the 43rd President of the United States (heh, heh, heh), The Al Gore Cup is a forum for teams that finished second and most likely feel that they're more deserving than all of the other first-place teams to be in the championship bracket.

Teams are seeded 1-4 based on regular season records and play a best-of-seven semifinal round followed by another seven game series to crown the winner.

The winner receives a bonus of 1 million Benchwarmer Bucks. The runner-up gets 500,000.

The 2014 Entrants (in order of seeding):

Oklahoma (83-67)
Wisconsin (78-72)
Cincinnati (75-75)
California (70-80)
