(1) Kevin Durant vs (16) KFOR Social Media Bandit

(1) Kevin Durant

Who he is: Badass basketball playing man.

Strengths: So good, he makes OU fans forget he played at Texas.

-

(16) KFOR Social Media Bandit

Who they are: The Twitter account of your mom's favorite local news station

Strengths: Ability to make even the most banal stories sound interesting in 140 characters.

Weaknesses: You've already read all those stories on Twitter.

(8) Street Outlaws vs (9) Lawton Rappers

(8) Street Outlaws

Who they are: Reality show stars who aren't actually outlaws and often don't drive on streets

Strengths: An... erm "passionate" fan base.

Weaknesses: Actual real professional racers hate it.

-

(9) Lawton Rappers

Who they are: Rappers... from Lawton.

Strengths: "Soon as Knuckles hit the club the whole place was screaming 'Opie!'" -- Greatest brag ever!

Weaknesses: Peaches did the whole Andy Griffith music video thing years ago (NSFW audio!).

(4) Sir John Michael vs (13) The Judicial Branch

(4) Sir John Michael

Who he is: King of the school bus.

Strengths: "If life gives you lemons, fuck life" is my new TM mantra.

Weaknesses: Does he have staying power? When was the last time you heard from Sweet Brown?

-

(13)The Judicial Branch

Who they are: One-third of our government, but not an equal third if you ask Josh Cockroft.

Strengths: Way less homophobic than the rest of our state government.

(5) Jack White's Guacamole vs (12) Hipster Food Foragers

(5) Jack White's Guacamole

What it is: The dip that captivated a nation for that glorious week back in February. Remember those days?

(12) Hipster Food Foragers

What it is: The extremely media savvy people behind the restaurant "Nani."

Strengths: They aren't Freegans. And thank god for that, because I thought that's what this was all about at first.

Weaknesses: They're too cool for capitalization. If you capitalize letters, you might as well be liking something unironically.
