Part 2 of the 2025 Jeopardy! postseason begins Monday, with the last two spots in the Tournament of Champions up for grabs. For the first time since 2021, wild cards are at play. When calculating this out over the course of the next week, I’ll be using data from past Teachers and Professors tournaments, as I believe those are the closest in clue difficulty to what we’ll be seeing in Champions Wildcard.
Here are your 15 players:
Monday, January 13
Will Yancey
Banquete, Texas
83 correct, 20 incorrect
5/7 on rebound attempts (on 14 rebound opportunities)
35.96% in first on buzzer (82/228)
8/10 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $6,000)
2/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,650
34.673% to win quarterfinal
61.438% to advance to semifinal
20.313% to advance to final
6.677% to win Champions Wild Card
13.859% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Will recently advanced out of Week 1 of Second Chance into this event.
Paul Clauson
Madison Heights, Michigan
63 correct, 16 incorrect
3/4 on rebound attempts (on 8 rebound opportunities)
39.52% in first on buzzer (66/167)
4/6 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $8,800)
0/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,333
36.784% to win quarterfinal
57.975% to advance to semifinal
19.759% to advance to final
6.745% to win Champions Wild Card
12.785% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Paul had a pair of runaway victories, but a missed Daily Double and Final Jeopardy in Game 3 sent him to Champions Wild Card.
Jen Feldman
Brooklyn, New York
44 correct, 7 incorrect
3/3 on rebound attempts (on 15 rebound opportunities)
24.56% in first on buzzer (42/171)
1/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$100)
1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $11,667
28.543% to win quarterfinal
59.871% to advance to semifinal
17.383% to advance to final
4.679% to win Champions Wild Card
11.459% to advance to Tournament of Champions
The only woman in this field, Jen might need to find her signalling device timing this time around in order to advance into Week 2.
Overall Thoughts: The prediction model thinks that Paul is a slight favorite here in this matchup. I’m expecting to see slightly more conservative play in the quarterfinals, because of the existence of the wild cards into the semis. Interestingly, the prediction model thinks that might work to Jen’s advantage—it thinks Paul has a better chance of winning, but Jen a better chance of advancing overall.

Tuesday, January 14
Davey Morrison
Provo, Utah
51 correct, 15 incorrect
2/2 on rebound attempts (on 14 rebound opportunities)
34.94% in first on buzzer (58/166)
2/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $5,800)
2/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $9,533
30.318% to win quarterfinal
57.358% to advance to semifinal
17.366% to advance to final
4.925% to win Champions Wild Card
11.045% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Davey became a 2-time champion back in July after knocking off ToCer Neilesh Vinjamuri.
Stevie Ruiz
Montauk, New York
62 correct, 8 incorrect
4/6 on rebound attempts (on 14 rebound opportunities)
35.12% in first on buzzer (59/168)
2/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $3,000)
1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,800
35.451% to win quarterfinal
61.698% to advance to semifinal
20.368% to advance to final
6.766% to win Champions Wild Card
14.047% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Stevie was the most recent entry into the field, winning his pair of games back in December. One thing that should suit him well, at least in the quarterfinals, is that he was very conservative in Final Jeopardy.
Evan Dorey
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
41 correct, 5 incorrect
3/4 on rebound attempts (on 7 rebound opportunities)
33.33% in first on buzzer (38/114)
1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $0)
1/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,800
34.231% to win quarterfinal
62.893% to advance to semifinal
20.277% to advance to final
6.557% to win Champions Wild Card
13.984% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Evan, whose grandfather hails from Newfoundland—I’ll never get tired of pointing that out!—was a 1-day champion whose winnings were high enough to garner entry into the event.
Overall Thoughts: I think all three players in this game will have various parts of North America cheering for them, and the prediction model does think it’s going to be a generally close battle.
Wednesday, January 15
Drew Goins
Honolulu, Hawaiʻi
88 correct, 11 incorrect
4/5 on rebound attempts (on 15 rebound opportunities)
36.40% in first on buzzer (83/228)
6/7 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $20,800)
2/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,650
42.900% to win quarterfinal
64.185% to advance to semifinal
25.764% to advance to final
10.759% to win Champions Wild Card
18.231% to advance to Tournament of Champions
After advancing out of Week 2 of Second Chance, Drew is one of the favorites to continue to appear on our television screens. If the dominant performance we saw last Monday comes out again—watch out!
Jay Fisher
Lisle, Illinois
65 correct, 7 incorrect
7/7 on rebound attempts (on 30 rebound opportunities)
25.44% in first on buzzer (58/228)
2/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $4,500)
2/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $11,450
30.367% to win quarterfinal
57.955% to advance to semifinal
18.429% to advance to final
5.634% to win Champions Wild Card
11.849% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Jay was the 3-time champion with the lowest winnings and was thus relegated to Champions Wildcard. His first win, though, did end the streak of Isaac Hirsch!
Aiden Orzech
Thornhill, Ontario, Canada
61 correct, 14 incorrect
4/4 on rebound attempts (on 12 rebound opportunities)
38.60% in first on buzzer (66/171)
1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$2,000)
2/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $11,400
26.733% to win quarterfinal
56.488% to advance to semifinal
16.338% to advance to final
4.474% to win Champions Wild Card
10.344% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Aiden is the highest-scoring 2-time winner in the field; however, some of that was a result of some overly aggressive Final Jeopardy betting. In a wildcard situation, controlling that might be the key to advancing.
Overall Thoughts: If “strong Drew” shows up to this quarterfinal, we might see both Jay and Aiden departing this event early. If not, things could get interesting. Wildcard considerations might also make Final Jeopardy intriguing.

Joey DeSena
Raleigh, North Carolina
53 correct, 15 incorrect
2/4 on rebound attempts (on 11 rebound opportunities)
33.33% in first on buzzer (57/171)
4/4 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $11,200)
1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $11,467
28.741% to win quarterfinal
58.196% to advance to semifinal
18.528% to advance to final
5.668% to win Champions Wild Card
11.772% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Joey won a pair of games back in November before losing in game #3 to Evan Dorey.
Mehal Shah
Seattle, Washington
72 correct, 12 incorrect
4/4 on rebound attempts (on 8 rebound opportunities)
42.01% in first on buzzer (71/169)
4/6 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $20,800)
0/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,667
42.351% to win quarterfinal
63.106% to advance to semifinal
26.350% to advance to final
11.370% to win Champions Wild Card
18.338% to advance to Tournament of Champions
The prediction model had Mehal as a very strong favorite—but this was prior to Drew Goins’s arrival last week. Mehal still has the strongest stats out of everyone, though, picking up an average of 24 correct responses a game. That said—he’s probably going to need to turn his Final Jeopardy statistics around a bit.
Eamonn Campbell
Manchester, Vermont
54 correct, 10 incorrect
4/4 on rebound attempts (on 13 rebound opportunities)
32.16% in first on buzzer (55/171)
1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$400)
2/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,667
28.908% to win quarterfinal
61.374% to advance to semifinal
19.892% to advance to final
6.340% to win Champions Wild Card
13.614% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Eamon had some interesting Final Jeopardy strategy during his wins back in October. If he makes it to the semifinals, trailing players might have needed to remember that from any advance scouting they might have done.
Overall Thoughts: The prediction model doesn’t seem to rate Joey and Eamonn as strongly as a few of the other pundits have. It has Mehal as a strong favorite to both win and advance out of this match.
Friday, January 17
Adam Hersh
Brooklyn, New York
37 correct, 6 incorrect
4/4 on rebound attempts (on 7 rebound opportunities)
29.82% in first on buzzer (34/114)
2/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $3,000)
2/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $11,700
34.595% to win quarterfinal
57.520% to advance to semifinal
19.864% to advance to final
6.584% to win Champions Wild Card
12.561% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Adam picked up enough in his win over Mehal back in November to garner an invite to this tournament.
Marko Saric
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
66 correct, 13 incorrect
7/7 on rebound attempts (on 13 rebound opportunities)
38.01% in first on buzzer (65/171)
2/4 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$1,300)
1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,533
36.752% to win quarterfinal
60.837% to advance to semifinal
21.763% to advance to final
7.729% to win Champions Wild Card
14.603% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Marko won his pair of games back in April after knocking off Alison Betts.
Will Weiss
Islip, New York
55 correct, 6 incorrect
4/4 on rebound attempts (on 16 rebound opportunities)
29.82% in first on buzzer (51/171)
1/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$1,400)
0/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,667
28.653% to win quarterfinal
59.106% to advance to semifinal
17.606% to advance to final
5.093% to win Champions Wild Card
11.509% to advance to Tournament of Champions
Will won a pair of games in the opening week of Season 41, picking up a pair of runaways before a singleton miss from the lead in his third game. He might need a correct response in Final to get through Week 1.
Overall Thoughts: The prediction model does like Marko’s chances of advancing through here, but it does think things will be very tight.
