You realize this is only really possible if you have a small conference? If you have 6 teams in the tourney, chances are you'll have a few great teams and a few good teams. If everyone was great in the big conference, then a few crappier teams that are huge underdogs to win 2 games would get in. When you have a conference with only 2 decent teams, this becomes more feasible, especially if one gets lucky for 2 games.

The only games that really interest me out of the sweet 16 are Florida vs. Butler and UNLV vs. Oregon.

strikingly, no conference has been a huge embarrassment
It speaks to how few #13-#16 upsets there were

[/ QUOTE ]

seems like the "best" conference should have more than 1 sweet 16 team.

yes, but it's not a huge letdown
they had two 4 seeds fall to 5 seeds
it's not like they choked on the big one

ACC didn't have a really strong 2nd team like it usually does. First time since 1979 that there weren't two S16 teams. Look at the Polls, there was only 1 ACC team in the top 16. I know if you look at Kenpom you'll get a different story, but I'm sorry Duke wasn't a top 16 team to end the season.
