Like any good bracket, we had some key upsets right from the get-go with 13-seed Bip advancing as well as a dominant victory from 11-seed Mike Benjamin. I agreed with seven of the eight victors here, with Sombrero Bip being the lone discrepancy.

Nevertheless, it warms my heart to see a card that great advancing in this tourney.
