This is part 2 of a 3 part series. This blog is different from the NCAA picks that I had in my first blog. This one is called "The Battle of the Mascots."

Some Rules in helping determine the winner:

• Seeding doesn't matter because I am picking my winners based on who would most likely win in a battle between the two mascots, therefore, there are no upsets. (For example, a tiger will most likely beat a bird.)
• Any team without an official mascot automatically loses.
• I also tried to use pictures of mascots, but if there weren't any available I had to go with the logo.
• Since I am using the best available pictures, one Eagle may be "tougher" than another because of its appearance in the photo.
• Although the play-in game occurred after I released my blog, I choose not to count it because I think that game is a joke.

All hot links will connect to pics/video of the mascots. Most of the links are the same because I couldn't really find many compelling photos/videos of mascots to link to. I did try and change some of them for the Final Four if there were better images available. Please feel free to leave any comments on whether you agree or disagree, but be respectful of all opinions, this all in fun. Thanks.
