    I'd explain my choices, but it all seems rather obvious.

    SC - cool iconography
    TN - loved the pelican, but TN is a classic
    TX - While I am normally loathe to vote for anything Texas or Texan, another classic design
    PR - I want to see PR and OH go head to head...

    SC (barely, to be honest, which surprised me because I didn't think it would be close)
    TN (iconic)
    TX (benefits by going against its uglier sister flag)
    PR (although I've always preferred Cuba's inverted version)

    Hate to sound like a broken record, but SC, TN, TX, PR as well. (I've always enjoyed PR, a remaking of the S&S in their own image (kind of like a cross between the S&S and Cuba if you will, although, aside from the Spanish heritage, there isn't much links to Cuba.)

    Well, I picked the same ones as everybody else. Now that the top seeds have entered the fray, this region became a lot more interesting

    South Carolina, it's recognizable, and though Alabama is nice and simple, it's also a little boring.

    Tennessee, I'm pulling for this one to make it to the Final Four.

    Texas, nice attempt North Carolina, but it needs to be more original.

    Puerto Rico, I would have picked Arkansas, but nine times out of ten, I'm voting against the flag with words on it.

    South Carolina vs. Alabama
    I'm loving both these flags, but there's a special place in my heart for the Crescent and Palmetto.

    Tennessee vs. Louisiana
    Lets all give a hand to Tennessee.

    Texas vs. North Carolina
    Texas did it better.

    Arkansas vs. Puerto Rico
    Puerto Rico's flag is inferior to Cuba, but superior to Arkansas's banner.
