The face-off: iPod vs. Zune

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the face-off between the two digital music player heavyweights! On the left, we have the favorite, the sexy, popular, and strong champion, the iPod! And on the right, we have the challenger, the bulkier, unreleased, and feature-heavy Zune! So, let’s get started! 1-2-3, ding!

Anyway, BBspot has released a comparison of the iPod and the Zune, a showdown of the two digital music players right now with the most buzz. BBspot compared everything from names of the products to Google Fight results. According to BBspot, the Zune had a better name ad would have served better in high school elections (it would have been Best Dressed, Class Clown, etc.), while the iPod had a better website (iPod.com forwards to Apple’s iPod page) and had a higher score in the Google Fight. In the end, the iPod came out on top, with a score of 3-2, with two ties. Of course, the tie breaker for the iPod was the virtual coin toss, so I’m still holding out for a full-featured comparison after the Zune is released.

Served better in High School elections? Huh?

By "highschool elections" he means superlatives. But the sentence itself still doesn't make sense.
