1. Stony Brook beat the crap out of Miami.

For those who did not catch it, Stony Brook 10, Miami 2. And it wasn't that close. Stony Brook is the better team, and may very well win that regional. UCF was not impressive as the 2 seed. When everyone said LSU got an easy road, they didn't expect this.

2. Clemson-South Carolina is going to be epic.

That's a game I wouldn't mind being at today.

3. Ole Miss can beat Texas A&M and win that regional.

Good win against TCU while A&M was less than impressive against Dayton.

4. Really wanted to be in Rice's regional. I envy Arkansas.

Arkansas is going to Omaha. Rice struggled but beat Prairie View. Arkansas gets them today. That regional is paired with the #4 national seed, Baylor, who lost to Oral Roberts. Oral Roberts and Dallas Baptist are in the winner's bracket in Waco.

5. Most impressive teams on Day One: Florida, South Carolina, NC State, Arizona and Stanford.
Most disappointing: Miami, Mississippi State, Baylor, San Diego, East Carolina.
