I've never liked sports pundits but they've become more outrageous than ever as the culture entered the Age of Arrogance and Hype. They are verbose, obnoxious, egotistical with few exceptions. So I am delighted they are so wrong about March Madness. Almost no upsets, they said. They were outraged, OUTRAGED, that VCU got into the tournament.
So what happens? More upsets than usual! And VCU upsets #1 Kansas today and goes to the Final Four, where they will play ... BUTLER! I love it.

The pundits are stupid, but this has been one the strangest tournaments I’ve ever seen. VCU’s win sets up a historic game with Butler, two unranked teams in Final Four game. This occurrence says a lot about college basketball today, anyone can win it all.

This time of year I just like to point out the inconsistencies from people who think a single elimination tourney is some supremely fair and balanced and perfect way of picking a “champion.” Especially when you consider teams are picked and more importantly seeded by a largely anonymous group who answer to no one and provide absolutely no reasoning to justify their actions. In this respect the BCS seems like an open book in comparison.
