Kanade > Euu (Is it possible 35-0 for Nova will be decided this early? <Question now is does either challenger want to go 35-0 since they will both most likely reach SE part 2? Kanade knows that going 49-0 did not guarantee her a tiara last year.> Euu losing may not cost her a chance at reaching the necklace round, but her chances of winning will be even less)
Kobato > Charlotte (My first thought is Kobato will go 7-0 and into the necklace round, but Charlotte may be tempted to wake up and deny Kobato of being the third consecutive Hanazawa representative to attempt to win a necklace. Of course her chances of winning the necklace would be far less than Kanade and Ruri)
Yuri > Kirino (Even though they may still reach the necklace round with 1 loss, this match is more about which one is stronger)
Mikoto = Shana (They both have the Ruby necklace. Shana has a dilema. Beat Mikoto and put Taiga in another split vote. Lose to Mikoto and Mikoto might have the advantage in the necklace round. And this is based on if Mikoto can beat Saber this round)
Taiga > Yuki (Taiga still has to win her match against Yuki though, which I think she will)
Azusa < Mio (Assuming Mio beats Hina, K-on will not be denied reaching the necklace round this time. Right now Mio is closer to the top of the Ruby leader board and has not yet lost to Azusa in ISML.)
Sena > Inori (Maybe it would of been interesting if a tier-3 could go 7-0 and reach the necklace round. But I expect Sena to spoil the party and deny Inori a 7-0 record. <Yuri may have been seeded tier-3, but her strength is more like inbetween tier 1 and 2>)
Kanade/Ruri > Shana/Taiga (And this is just an exhibition match between the strongest Hanazawa and Kugimiya reps this year
)
