Shut up, it's still up upset when a 12 beats a 5 regardless of what conference they come from.

This goes back to the post I was talking about earlier where I posted the lines from a bunch of the games. The lines were really close this year, be it because of a lack of mid majors or, more likely, a bit more parity than the last couple of years (2 years ago had the last upsets ever, last year had all 4 #1 seeds). Most of the upsets were 2 or less points on the point spread so they didn't seem as dramatic as in the past. This, again, goes back to my contention that it wasn't until the last set of games from last night that things got interesting (and apparently ESPN agrees with their headline overnight but I'm not sure I want to use them to help defend my theory).
