    OK, this will be fun, but let me say that no way in hell is Smart Start a 14-seed. Smart Start's 28-2 this season with some solid digestions and energy boosters, especially once conference breakfasts began. I won't demand a re-seeding, but Smart Start's definitely top 5. But that's a whole other discussion.

    Grandma's Bracket (better than Grandma's inner-thigh goiter)
    1, Cheerios
    9, Alpha Bits

    5, Cocoa Puffs
    4, Honey Nut Cheerios

    6, Count Chocula
    14, Smart Start (umm, Final 4, baby)

    7, Fruit Loops
    15, Smurf Berries (oh, those days of eating Smurfette)

    Raisin Hell Bracket
    1, Corn Flakes
    9, Nut 'n' Honey

    5, Special K (not the poster)
    4, Honey Bunches of Oats

    6, Oh's (do you think Sandra Oh eats Oh's?)
    3, Rice Krispies (best when doused with sugar)

    7, Apple Jacks
    15, Flutie Flakes (for the days you feel like underdog and want to shock the bitches from "U")

    Sugar Fix Bracket
    1, Lucky Charms
    8, Cocoa Krispies

    5, Trix
    4, Cookie Krisp

    6, Honeycomb
    14, Kix

    7, Total
    2, Cinnamon Toast Crunch (and not just because I knew a girl named Cinnamon)

    Midnight Snack Bracket
    1, Frosted Flakes
    8, Granola

    5, Chex
    4, Fruity Pebbles

    11, Cinnamon Life (the battle with Frosted Flakes will be uber-brutal)
    3, Wheaties

    7, Cocoa Pebbles (definitely going to the regional final)
    2, Golden Grahams
