There are definitely some interesting names on that there list and even more so, some interesting teams. It is refreshing to know that the CAED warranted such attention and good luck to all those that submitted. I personally have my favorites but will keep that to myself until I finish filling out the office pool. However the process to select the final team should be interesting as the RFQ suggested a "competition phase" for the teams that were shortlisted.
