mips comparison

Question

I'm having an error with my program. I'm not asking someone to necessarily rewrite my program for me, but constructive advice would be appreciated.

#print Guess
li $v0, 4
la $a0, Guess
syscall

#get user input
li $v0, 6
syscall

#store it to variable estimate
sw $v0, estimate

#calculate total 
lwc1 $f1, totalSquare
lwc1 $f2, totalCircle
add.s $f0, $f1, $f2
swc1 $f0, total

li $v0, 4
la $a0, totalMsg
syscall
li $v0, 2
mov.s $f12, $f0
syscall
li $v0, 4
la $a0, Newline
syscall 

#if  total > estimate, print MSG2. else, print MSG1 
lwc1 $f0, total
lwc1 $f1, estimate
c.lt.s $f0, $f1

bc1t MSG2

li $v0, 4
la $a0, MSG1
syscall

li $v0, 10
syscall 

displayMSG2:  
li $v0, 4
la $a0, MSG2
syscall

Basically, what I'm trying to do is see if $f0 < $f1. If that's NOT true (or in other words, $f0 > $f1), then branch to "displayMSG2" Else, display MSG1

However, when I run the code, no matter what input I put in, it ALWAYS branches to displayMSG2. I'm pretty new to MIPS and am most comfortable with high-level languages, so I'm really interested in hearing whatever advice ya'll have :)
