Square Off Season 11 Wild Card Contenders

Polytechnic University of the Philippines opened day one at 23% and simply built from there, climbing to a settled 35% by day five and holding it the rest of the way. Adamson University trailed the whole race — 31.7% final — never cutting the gap below three points once PUP hit its plateau.

This wasn't a nail-biter; it was a rout by margin, not by chaos. Ateneo de Manila took a clear third at 20.3%, and the bottom four schools combined for just 13% of all 3,346 votes. Seven days of stability after day one says PUP's base showed up early and stayed put.

• Early lock-in · PUP led by day 1 and the margin only grew
• Two-school race · PUP and Adamson combined for 66.7% of votes
• Long tail · Bottom four schools totaled just 13% together
