10% Method, 90% Madness: Our Badger Region Qualifier Predictions

As we unveil our picks for the Badger Region volleyball qualifier, we want to make one thing perfectly clear: There is some method to our madness, but it's still mostly madness. We also tried to pick several upsets just to keep things interesting. Finally, we want to wish the best of luck to all the teams participating. This qualifier promises to be a real slugfest.
