Certainly some of it goes to show how out of touch the committee is when it comes to seeding, as many of those lower seeded teams were favored to win.

This culminates tomorrow with #11 seed Wichita St favored over #3 seed Miami. Maybe it's finally time to replace these guys with people that actually know what they're talking about.

I don't count 9 seeds winning as upsets, as those games are basically tossups.
