Sorry, guys. SB Nation, an authoritative source, has decided the matter. It's on the internet, it must be true.

Round of 32
Iowa State Cyclones vs. UAB Blazers
AW HELL YEAH.
WEATHERBIRD VS.
FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON. One could argue that the dragon's fire is of no use here, because that'll just turn the force of nature into a fiery force of nature. However, this particular cyclone is being commanded by a muscly cardinal, and that cardinal *is* susceptible to fire and also mystical powers. Dragon wins. It's science.
Don't feel bad. Dragons are big, tough, and ornery. Anyone seen Game of Thrones?

Hey, it could have been worse. Be glad you're not Providence or Dayton fans:
Providence Friars vs. Dayton Flyers
In an unprecedented event in MASCOT DEATHBRACKET history. The peaceful Dominican brother and the peaceful barnstorming pilot are so tickled by the fact that their titles rhyme that they form a truce and team up to advance to the next round. The friar is impressed with the flyer's aerial skills. The flyer is quite taken with the friar despite his
ghoulish appearance. They zoom around in the plane together. The friar even gets his own gogglehat to wear under his horrifying shawl. The flyer and the friar snuggle sometimes, but just in a friendly way. They make out just once to see what it's like.
Don't get bent, it's most likely the only win we'll get.
