[Izulde]

We're into the second round games now after witnessing some exciting first round action, including seeding upsets by #14 seed Monday Night Football, #13 seed Happy Days, #12 The Office (UK), and #10 ER. (9 over 8 doesn't count here).

Will the Cinderella stories continue or will they bow out? Those are some of the burning questions awaiting us.

We kick off the second set of games with #6 seed Firefly vs #3 seed Family Guy in the Eaglesfan27 Bracket.

Firefly Road Thus Far
Round 1: Defeated #11 seed Alias 50-33

Family Guy Road Thus Far
Round 1: Defeated #14 seed Northern Exposure 67-24

Outlook
A clear-cut easy win for Family Guy here, as Firefly was one of the lowest-scoring winners in the first round against very soft competition. It'll be Peter and the gang rolling over the strangely hot River and co.

In the Izulde region, #5 Band of Brothers takes on #4 seed The Wonder Years

Band of Brothers Road Thus Far
Round 1: Defeated #12 seed Burn Notice 64-22

The Wonder Years Road Thus Far
Round 1: Defeated #13 seed Six Feet Under 78-14

Outlook
Kevin Arnold is one of the biggest superstars in this tournament and he'll singlehandedly carry The Wonder Years past the collective Band of Brothers. This matchup likely won't even be close, as many consider The Wonder Years to be the strongest #4 seed in the entire field.

The Solecismic has #1 seed The Sopranos up against #9 seed Quantum Leap.

The Sopranos Road Thus Far
Round 1: Defeated #16 seed The A-Team 76-26

Quantum Leap Road Thus Far
Round 1: Defeated #8 seed How I Met Your Mother 45-42

Outlook
The Sopranos will squash. Quantum Leap was lucky to get past HIMYM in Round 1, even with a sense of overconfidence rumored to be growing amongst Tony Soprano's boys.

And finally, the Pumpy Tudors, where #10 seed Saturday Night Live seeks to dethrone #2 seed The West Wing.

Saturday Night Live Road Thus Far
Round 1: Defeated #7 seed Buffy the Vampire Slayer 66-29

The West Wing Road Thus Far
Round 1: Defeated #15 seed Mystery Science Theatre 3000 55-48

Outlook
The West Wing had a hard time fending off MST3K in the first round and they're up against another Nostalgia Offense in the second round. That doesn't bode particularly well for their chances, particularly since some observers felt Saturday Night Live would be in for a close one against #7 seed Buffy. Instead, they won with ease. This should be the best matchup of the bloc.
