Another Number One's Gone

And another number one's gone, another number one's gone...

Okay it doesn't quite fit the song, but number one seeds in the NCCA madness tourney don't quite fit the perception anymore, either. Indiana is the latest number one seed to go home early. None of these teams is great. Any could win. What would make a better tourney? Random drawings with no seeds at all. You face who you face until it's all over. No more "upsets" just two pretty evenly matched teams trying to advance.

It would also make it a lot harder and more interesting for fans making their picks. I know sports fans love upsets, but none of the participants are big enough favorites to be CALLED favorites.

They should just play (and invite another 64 teams to the tourney). The days of great college teams is over.
