Tennessee-West Virginia-Indiana

Tennessee was clearly the fastest team, but they seemed a bit over-anxious.  They got up first on every initial question of the quiz.  Something hardly ever seen at the National level.  It speaks both to their dominance as a team and to their lack of ability to temper things when it benefits them.  I believe, if they have an undoing, it will be because they are unable to slow down and let the quiz "come to them" when it is beneficial to do so.

They got 13 correct questions and 8 errors to achieve their total.  The primary beneficiary was Sarah from Indiana, as she got several questions so that they comfortably achieved the middle win.  In my opinion, there is no reason to quiz so fast against teams that are not challenging as heartily for the initial jump.

The only controversial part was where Mr. West did not accept a challenge put forth by Tennessee.  Everyone seemed to agree that he should have accepted it, but his Bible wouldn't "turn on."  His need to borrow a Bible seemed to lead to his being unable to rule properly.  I predict that Tennessee will be a top team, Indiana will be a top ten team, and West Virginia can survive another quiz or two if they receive a favorable matchup.

The final score was Tennessee (220) - West Virginia (10) - Indiana (130)
