I released my #ToC2017 field prediction model earlier this week. Do the current 4-time champs in the field have a shot at qualifying?

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! tonight? Today’s Jeopardy! results will go up on this page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of this page.
