Close to the end of the season and today alone:\nNo 2, 6, 7, 12, 20 and 22 all lose to unranked teams. Number 9 is about to lose at home to 24 and number 5 is losing to an unranked team with less than nine minutes to play.
\n\nThere's been a lot of talk about the uncertainty of who's good; no one seems to know. I'm becoming more and more certain this tournament will have more upsets (by seed) than any in recent history. I'd be surprised to see more than one or two one seeds in the final four. I'll be really curious to see who my model likes.
