[Editor’s note: Puff has laid a glance at the brackets, and she awaits the newspaper tomorrow to deliver her in-depth analysis this week.]

Southern quadrant: Florida has a breeze.

The Eastern bracket will have upsets, but I don’t think there are any great shake ups. Michigan State is really beginning to play. Iowa State can come through, too.

As for the Midwest — what a terrible, lopsided quadrant! Louisville can take St. Louis. Mercer is playing Duke… It would great to see that upset, (NFL: Never Forget Laettner), but I doubt it.

And how did BYU end up at the dance? More on the The West seeds soon. In the meantime, I’m off to buy my math-enhanced brackets from the geniuses at myBrac8.com* because we can all use a little sharpness when determining our brackets.

Losing coach: “If you don’t do what you do, you’re gonna come up short.”

Losing coach: “I told our guys at half time, with the nine turnovers we had, why don’t you go out there and give them the ball nine more times and let them shoot. They took me literally, so we went down 18 more points.”

Player on winning team: “Coach pulled me out and kind of put the ball in my hands and told me, ‘Now go back out there and see if you can find your team mates. So, I found them, just like he said I should.'”

* Full disclosure: Puff’s granddaughter is a consultant for this company. But she’s really buying the brackets anyway because it’s just $3 and who knows anyway, right?
