Math Geek (no offence) says: PDT win!

Nathan Hart at the IDS drew this to BVNs attention-

A regression analysis of this years L5 results makes it plain that PDT will win!
Team, Victory Chance
Phi Delta Theta 24.5%
Cutters 18.3%
Phi Kappa Psi 16.8%
Phi Gamma Delta 11.5%
Sigma Chi 7.4%

However with Sig Chi at 7.4% but within a standard error of PDT don't put all your money on the favorites just yet! What isn't factored in is which teams will turn all wicked-witch and shrink from the rain!

"Here's the thing that makes life so interesting. The theory of evolution claims only the strong survive. Maybe so, maybe so. But the theory of competition says that just because they're the strong doesn't mean they can't get their asses kicked. That's right. See, what every long shot come from behind underdog will tell you is this: the other guy may in fact be the favorite, and the odds may be stacked against you; fair enough... but what the odds don't know, is that this ISN'T a math test. This is a completely different kind of test, one where passion has a funny way of trumping logic. So before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows and the clock starts ticking, just remember out here, the results don't always add up! No matter what the stats say, or what the experts may think, and the commentators may have predicted, when the race is on, ALL BETS ARE OFF. Don't be surprised if someone decides to flip the script and take a pass on yelling uncle. And then, suddenly, as the old saying goes.... WE GOT OURSELVES A GAME."
