A lot of this will depend on how well-organized and in-synch with each other the Saki faction voters are.
If the Saki faction voters don't attempt anything like sniping, or clear breaks to stronger Saki girls in Saki vs. Saki vs. non-Saki matches, then yeah, the sheer numbers of the Saki faction could drop nastily after a round or two. OTOH, if they play their cards right, they're pretty much unbeatable. Seriously, they are. With this many "cards" on "the field of battle", they have so many different strategic options that it's amazing. Whether or not a Saki girl wins it all will probably depend on how good a job Saki faction voters do of "playing" J-SaiMoe. And how many Saki girls make it to the quarterfinals will similarly depend on how well they "play" J-SaiMoe.

Toki is legitimately strong. She can probably "legit beat" almost any other girl in this competition. The few she perhaps can't... Well, that's where sniping could come into play. Like I wrote before, this will probably come down to how well the Saki faction voters "play" J-SaiMoe. If they don't "play" it at all, and just vote with their heart round after round after round, then yeah, Saki probably won't win it all. But if they make a conscientious and well-organized effort to snipe the strongest non-Saki girls whenever a good opportunity arises, and to consistently break to the strongest Saki girl in Saki vs. Saki vs. non-Saki matches, well... that could easily be the road to victory for the Saki faction.

That would be pretty boring since we can just look at votes from one round and then instantly know who's going to win. Because saimoe is determined by votes, the strength of a particular character is pretty consistent, and without cheaters it just wouldn't be that much fun.

^^Oh wait I also agree with what you said.

I stress ALMOST though since there's a lot of exceptions to this. Biggest example is last year's Puella Magi blowout. 2008's a dark era cus everything played out ala ISML. The dolls and the White Devil will always be legends. The only way I see the Saki faction producing a winner is by being part of the exception and in line of what you said, I think it's only Toki who has that.

Just because someone voted for character A in the first round doesn't mean he would vote for her in the upcoming rounds as well. |

There are always exceptions and absolutes in moe. While a character might hold a pattern of winning, they might run into that one character that is the exception for a large enough base of her following and then lose.
