Notes

#MarchFatness 2014 Bracket Round One is set

The Play-in Round results:
#4 Jr Bacon Cheeseburger defeats #5 DQ Chicken Fingers w/ gravy
#4 Filet-O-Fish defeats #5 Sonic Footlong Cheese Coney
#4 Big Buford defeats #5 KFC Bucket
#5 Italian BMT upsets #4 Sonic Burger

The play-in matchups have been completed and round one of the 2014 #MarchFatness bracket has been set. There wasn't as much drama as the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament had in its first weekend. Three of the higher-seeded teams from the play-in round advanced as expected, while the 5-seed Italian BMT from Subway was able to upset the 4-seed Sonic Burger to move into the first round where it has an unenviable matchup with the 1-seed Whopper.

While all the matchups are quite tasty, there are some very intriguing contests as well.

Starting at the top of the bracket, we have the number one overall seed McDouble from McDonald's going up against the 4-seed Jr Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's. Both of these sandwiches are staples on each restaurant's respective value menus. Can the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger garner enough votes to pull of one of the biggest upsets in food history?
