These blog playoffs have it all: upsets, blowouts, even a tie. I can say, without any exaggeration, that the BHP blows March Madness out of the water (OK, a little exaggeration).

Now we’re into Round 2, with eight basketblogs left to strut their stuff. Who will make it to the Conference Finals? Who will represent Bono and Grimes?

Check out the matchups and vote, after the jump.

First, let’s review Round 1 in the Bono Conference:

• (1) 2nd Round Reach (65-35) and (2) Bust a Bucket (77-23) advance comfortably.
• (5) Points In The Paint edges (4) Raptors Republic, 52-48.
• Drama! (3) TWolves Blog and (6) Nugg Doctor tie. Panic! Video replay shows that Doc’s bucket beat the buzzer.
• Hey, look! All four in the Conference are Bloguiners.

On to the matchups. Over to you, Bono.

The fantasy ballers battle: (1) 2nd Round Reach vs. (5) Points In The Paint

Blazers-Nuggets would be an interesting series: (2) Bust a Bucket vs. (6) Nugg Doctor

And looking back at Round 1, Grimes Conference:

• (1) Fear The Beard and (2) Need4Sheed advance like conjoined twins, 74-26.
• Upset! (6) Red’s Army edges (3) Blaze of Love, 53-47.
• Blaze and Raptors Republic go down as higher seeds. Is there a pattern? People aren’t into logos so much?
• The “Yeah, and Homer beat their brains out” Award goes to (5) Basketbawful, 94-6. Youch.

Matchup time. Any words of wisdom, Grimey?
