With the B1G teams flopping so badly in the tournament it really appears the majority of these schools were over ranked and over rated prior to being selected for the field of 64. The media obsession with these high profile teams definitely skewed the seedings.
It begs the question, and offers a real opportunity for the field to be expanded to 128 teams. Obviously there were teams from smaller conferences who never had a chance of being selected who might very well have been successful in the tournament. Maybe Morgan State, Prairie View, St. Louis, Colorado State, South Dakota, South Dakota State, North Dakota, Toledo, Buffalo, Nicholls or others could have upset some of the big boys.
It sure has been fun watching the Davids' playing the Goliaths' so far, although most of my bracket selections have all been blown to the four winds.
Thoughts?
GO OWLS!
