Not only did Stanford, who I picked to win it all, lose, but Kentucky, who I had losing to Stanford in the championship game, got upset this weekend as well.  I can&#8217;t recall there being so many major upsets this early in previous years.  Adding Mississippi&#8217;s loss to the mix means that three of my Final Four teams will be watching from home.  So now two number 1 seeds and two number 2 seeds are out.  My only surviving FF team is Wake Forest.   But that&#8217;s what I love about college basketball.  On any given day an underdog can take out a number one team.  You gotta love March Madness for that.  I also find it so ironic that St. Joseph&#8217;s is still alive, given all the controversy about them getting a number 1 seed.  Billy Packer must be feeling pretty silly right about now.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m now ranked #377,661 (53rd percentile) in the Yahoo contest, with little hope of moving higher.  Oh well, I guess I&#8217;ll go back to rooting for Duke to win it all.  I&#8217;ll also be pulling for Nevada &#8212; now that&#8217;s a team that&#8217;s fun to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Needless to say, my NCAA Tournament brackets are totally jacked up.
