    Bracket Breakdown: Midwest Region

    Later today, we'll begin rolling out our Tidbit previews of each team/first-round matchup, but to kick us off, we're gonna look at each region. Here's the Midwest region.

    Best Storyline: Is it possible for Joakim Noah to to become less likable?
    Worst Storyline: Maryland vs. Davidson in the Schools Lefty Dreisell Once Coached Bowl.
    Everybody's Favorite Upset: If Winthrop over Notre Dame is considered an "upset," well, then that one. Otherwise, Davidson over Maryland.
    Odd Fact: Old Dominion's coach is named Blaine.
    Most Handsome Man: Wisconsin's Kammron Taylor, followed closely by UNLV coach Lon "Unibrow" Kruger.
    Most Skipable First-Round Game: Oregon-Miami (Ohio).

    And, some predictions from around the Internets:

    • Dick Vitale: Florida.
    • Jay Bilas: Florida.
    • Andy Katz: Florida.
    • Stuart Mandel: Florida.
    • Gary Parrish: Florida.
    • DEADSPIN: Florida. After listening to Joakim Noah after their win yesterday, we have a new villain, however. But this bracket's pretty easy.

    Would you wear what Joakim Noah's wearing, if it meant a trip to the Final Four? Let us know your Midwest business ....
