    So the answer is yes. Hmm, I might have to change my vote now that I'm an informed participant in the electoral process.

    The first round is complete.

    Before the next bracket is posted, some observations:

    Midnight Snack No. 1 Frosted Flakes destroyed Waffle Crisp, 30-0. That's no typo, folks. The overall No. 1, Corn Flakes in the Raisin Hell Sectional, had the toughest time of the top seeds. Play-in winner Cream of Wheat gave it a run, but its lack of depth showed early in a 25-5 loss.

    Other dominant performances came from Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios and Golden Grahams, each with 26-point victories. No. 5 seeds Trix and Cocoa Puffs also routed the competition.

    We had four double-digit seed upsets, but Flutie Flakes was not one of them. No. 12 Marshmallow Alpha Bits and No. 11 Boo Berry were each forced into overtime despite leading most of the way, but both prevailed. Meanwhile, No. 11 Cinnamon Life blew out sixth-seeded Grape Nuts, which lost its star player, Jelly Roll Morton, early in the first half.

    The closest matchups were all in the Sugar Fix Sectional, a.k.a. the Group of Death. In Peterborough, No. 10 Smacks held on for a 2-point victory over No. 7 Total. No. 3 Cap'n Crunch used a 6-0 rally in the final minutes to beat 14th-seeded Kix 19-11, while No. 6 Honeycomb's second-half surge propelled it to an 18-12 victory. No. 8 Cocoa Krispies edged No. 9 Crispix 17-13.

    Now, on to the second round!

    How the hell did honey bunches of oats become a 4 seed? That's the most disgusting cereal I've ever eaten...
