Well, I think it's safe to say that we won't see a repeat of last year where 4 #1 seeds made the Final Four. There just aren't enough (if any) great teams that tower over the good teams this year.
Maybe you can make the argument for Carolina (though let's see if they can win their first conference tournament game today). And I'm sure Memphis would argue that they should be in that conversation (though they play in a JV conference, so no one really knows how good they are). Defending champ Kansas? Nope. Oklahoma? Negative. Pitt? Don't think so. UConn? Well, they certainly put up the most fight, but no, especially if Pitt ends up in their region.
My favorite part of watching the highlights from last night's upsets was the "Are you kidding? I was supposed to be in bed 3 overtimes ago! Man this coaching stuff is hard." looks on the faces of both Calhoun and Boeheim as the game kept dragging on and on.
Worst part of all this: I can hear the "Duke's a great team, give us a #1 seed" talk machine starting up.
