Just like the 11v14 Kansas-Missouri matchup, this 2v7 contest between Mississippi State and Houston is unique. In the first round, the Bulldogs cheerleader beat the 15th-ranked Redhawks cheerleader 56-44 and the Cougars cheerleader dominated the 10th-ranked Trojans cheerleader 63-37, making this quarterfinal matchup as the only underdog-free contest. Both cheerleaders deserve to move on to the semis, but unfortunately, only one will advance. Who will it be? Vote and decide!
The rules: The cheerleader who wins the bracket tournament will be crowned SPiN's College Cheerleader of the Year.
Voting for this matchup ends on Monday, Jan. 7 at noon EST. Official results will be posted shortly after the polls close.
