I think Jay Bilas said it best: when there's upsets, the committee did a great job selecting teams. When there's not, they did a good job of seeding. They always do a great job.

What do you think is a good over/under for the year in which a 16 seed beats a 1 seed for the first time?

Though all the upsets are fun, they definitely take away from the later rounds, this year should have plenty of great games/matchups

unwatchable

edit: but the run of george mason, lsu, etc leading up to that made it worth it IMO. i like watching the crappy teams celebrate and the cocky teams getting their medicine!

Part of this may also be that the teams are more properly seeded throughout the tourney than in previous years. Not necessarily RPI, but all the things to consider might better judge the teams. Also the fact that they try to give the top 1-3 seeds 1st and 2nd round games close to home if they can. That is a big factor.
