Klein Stays On Top, Geist and Glor Gaining

ABC’s Rick Klein‘s bracket remains in first place after the Sweet 16 in the TVNewser Bracket Challenge ’09, while some people’s choice for champs have been ousted.

Klein and CBS’ Jeff Glor each have three of their Final Four teams still alive, while the current 2nd and 3rd place brackets (Steve Krakauer and MSNBC’s Willie Geist) have their top team eliminated. Look out for ABC’s John Berman — although he’s back in the pack, he’s got all four Final Four teams still alive.

Also, Klein left some trash talk this week on the group message board: “And I thought all those TVs in the Situation Room would give Blitzer an advantage,” he wrote.
