alliteration

"sweet sixteen"
"final four"

i'm sorry, but "elite eight" is not an alliteration, and it sounds forced and a little clumsy. either make it actually alliterative ("able eight"?) or just make it better without the alliteration ("great eight").

unless we're going to carry it all the way down ("terrific two"? "wonderful one"?), feel free to break out of the literary device.
