No upsets = No fun

Don't get me wrong the NCAA Tournament is great and it's not messed up like its ugly stepbrother, the BCS, but there are some issues here.

Where are the potential bracket busters?

Looking through the first day there weren't any major upsets unless you count a very average and overseeded team like Illinois getting waxed by Western Kentucky an upset.

This is the problem with allowing a glutton of high major teams into the picture: it takes the fun out of it.

Even the potential "upsets" for today are boring. As we speak Utah State is getting waxed by Marquette at halftime and that, along with VCU falling to UCLA were our best hopes.

I thought there was a chance North Dakota State may shock the Rock Chalk nation but it's getting pounded as well.

The key here? Even if these teams were to pull off upsets they really wouldn't be upsets at all.

Bill Self's Kansas blowing a first round game happens all the time. I wouldn't have been shocked if the team doing it this year had a player like Ben Woolside.

But even the potential upset teams that haven't fallen yet don't feel like magic.

A look around the lower seeded teams today shows Utah State, Portland State, Cleveland State, Temple, Arizona and Wisconsin.

Only Cleveland State would "shock the world" if it actually won.

Portland State is playing a Xavier team that has struggled to close on its early season momentum.

Arizona is a underachieving PAC-10 team filled with stars playing Utah, a mid-major. Temple is playing Arizona State in a year when the PAC-10 is just about as bad as the SEC.

Wisconsin is another team looking blehhhh as a choice out of the Big Ten to play up and coming Florida State.

But if either Arizona or Wisconsin pull off upsets would we really be shocked? I doubt it.

Where are you Cinderella?
