While it may be misleading, if you count the total #senior to you it can be fairly accurate at predicting how junior it may go. I'm in the 10,3XX range and right now there are 44 total senior to me bidding it. 24 total in the 1st to 3rd preference. There are 160 senior to me bidding the 330B in SEA with 109 in the 1st to 3rd preference. This thing may go a lot more junior that some guys are thinking.
