There are so, so many buildings to choose from, but we landed on the top 32. To contain the list a bit, we left out famous homes and churches, and stuck with buildings -- like, skyscrapers, museums, etc., and they have to be still standing, like Elton John.

We’re into Round 3 of the bracket, now down to 8 buildings. No surprises up top, as the Fisher and Guardian buildings easily advance as top seeds. We did have some upsets in the second round: No. 5 seeded DIA knocked off the No. 4 seeded Renaissance Center. WHOA! And the No. 7 seeded Old Main at Wayne State beat out the No. 2 seeded Penobscot Building. Another WHOA!

We’ve got some big matchups in Round 3 -- voting ends Sunday night. We’ve had more than 16,000 votes in this challenge so far!

Prizes: Just by voting, you’ll be entered to win a $100 gift card to Jax Car Wash (four in each round) and one grand prize of $500! Thanks to our sponsor, FanDuel Sportsbook -- Make your first bet risk free up to $1,000.
