Unless you know something I don't (ie. the actual results) then I don't think so. Against a stronger team, they wouldn't have been allowed to come back from 85 down and they were gifted a number of points on poor buzzes. Of course this could have just been a one-off poor performance but if it is indicative of actual strength they will struggle to progress.
I don't know the results, but this guy is from the University of Manchester and reading between the lines, either he's in the team and was making a joke or he knows the results and Manchester will win the series.

Surely they haven't filmed all the episodes?
Either way
Joe Day is not in the team, but is doing physics with astrophysics - the same degree as one of the contestants in the Manchester team.
Possibly he is a friend of him and thus divulged whether they progressed a lot into the competition

Or perhaps in the same tutorial group as him...

You seem like an informed fan. I have a few questions.
1) do all of the universities enter?
2) are all the matches on TV.
3) why are Cambridge and Oxford allowed so many entries?
Thanks

The series is all recorded over a relatively short span of time, to get it all done in a single academic year, probably to avoid anything like the Corpus affair from a few years ago.

Manchester won the last series (2011-12) and Magdalen didn't field a team. The one currently on BBC2 is 2012-13
I got the point.I did't know that University challenge extend to next year.
Thank you for your kind explanation.

Both Magdalen and Manchester are on the current series of University Challenge. However, people can only be on one series of University Challenge, so the current teams are different than the ones from Brain World Cup.
Oh,you saw Brain World Cup?I've seen latest Magdalen VS Sidney match in Youtube.
I'm surprised at the team absolutely different from previous one.I know Matthew study abroad but the others are undergraduate so I thought maybe they are in this series.Any way,it was nice current Magdalen won.
Loved that episode, amazing stuff from Manchester.
anyone watch today's episode?
Missed it unfortunately. Will be catching up on iplayer very soon!
Imperial were immense tonight. That Italian PHD student is something.

Imperial are too good
I was better than Jesus for most of the game but then they beat me at the end. The questions seemed a lot nicer than last week to me. A lot more science.
Jesus were not the strongest and Imperial knew their stuff, but even so the questions fell well for Imperial.
fun fact: Imperial's Cottrell on tonight's episode is my boyfriend woop woop
