    Anyone know if all no. 1 seeds have ever made the Final Four? I doubt it ever happened. Odds are at least 2 won't make it to Motown.

    It happened last year. It has been my contention that we've seen an elimination of the 'non-major' conference selection and an increase in lower-tier teams from the major conferences, thus creating a more predictable tournament in which the top seeds just move on.

    You ever considered getting into politics, Corey? You always make the case for the "little" guy. We need some of that in Washington.

    ha! :)

    I am going to hunt around for those bar graphs BCS ran. They clearly showed a diminishing amount of upsets... then later ran a bar graph showing the diminishing amount of at-large bids given to the mid-range and smaller conferences.

    I can't think of much else that has changed about the tournament :)
