Were all of the Number 1's overrated this year in the NCAA's?

No, they weren't overrated. In a tournament format, you're out with one loss. Anything can happen in one game, and while the number one seeds are generally better than lower seeded teams,  all the teams in the tournament are pretty good (or else they wouldn't be there) and so in any given game, an upset can happen.

Florida State. They had massive ammounts of hugely talented players comming out of their school. 5 in the 1st round which is crazy.

Nope.  In case you were wondering, a No. 1 seed has never lost to a No. 16 seed in the first round of the NCAAs.\n\nClosest is a #2 beating a #15.  Link has some ideas for picking help.

actually reggie bush did deserve it, but calhoun does deserve more recognition for his acheivments this last season. thats not saying it isnt a popularity contest as its more probable you will see a player from USC, Miami, Florida, Texas win the heisman opposed to someone from Alabama or Wisconsin, but you also have to look at competition

He's good but I think he's really overrated. He wasn't even able to lead his team to the second round.

Yes Reggie bush is overrated. No doubt he is a very talented athlete. But he was surrounded by an outstanding supporting cast. From His QB, O-line, DEFENSE, and not to mention his partner in the backfield. He is talented but any back of the same caliber would have the same success as Mr Bush.

No, they're not.\nI think they've played better than many expected.\nI still stand to what I said before. The most overrated team is England! The comments they drew after their victory over T&T on ESPN were very scathing - and reflected waht happened..

I believe Arkansas will get it due credit when they kick Florida's ass in the SEC championship game, but Wisconsin conference is way to tough this year with Michigan and Ohio state. The SEC IS THE MOST OVERRATED CONFERENCE next to the BIG EAST.

I think the so-called "power conferences" get too much credit.  The Big-10 was supposedly the strongest conference in the nation and look what happened to them in the tourney.

Tennessee is a little bit of a surprise to me.  I would have them at maybe a 4 seed.  Gonzaga is right where they belong becuase they are overrated.  I mean, they have played 14 of their 30 games with teams in their conference.  Here's their conference:\n\n Gonzaga            27-3 \n St. Mary's         17-12  \n Loyola Marymount   12-18  \n San Francisco      11-17  \n San Diego          18-12  \n Santa Clara        13-16  \n Portland           11-18  \n Pepperdine         7-20  \n\n2 teams in their whole conference are over .500.

I think the better question is who cares anymore?\n\nLebron (King) James doesn't need a contest outside of the game to show he can dunk. \n\nAnymore it is just overrated.

I've got Gonzaga.  I originally picked them because I believe that Morrison is one of the top two players in the nation this year.  After seeing him struggle and Gonzaga win anyway, I'm a bit more confident in my pick.  UCLA is good, but I think Gonzaga is slightly better.

They are not overrated, West Virginia can be a good team. But that is as far as they will get, a good team. They cannot beat the elite teams of college basketball, as they cannot beat many of the mid-level teams. They have won some big games, lost other games, mainly to good teams. But that loss to a sub-.500 team in Marshal is a horrible loss. That is why West Virginia may seem overrated. But WV did beat Oklahoma, Villanova, and UCLA, all very good teams.

Notre Dame - so over rated\n\nUSC - there just not as good as they used to be but they are better than notre dame

As far as overall program success, I'd place them in the top 10 for certain. Top 5? Whew! They have had great teams but have under achieved on a lot occasions. I'm a Kansas fan so I say thie word choked with a stright face. \n\nThere are other programs out there that are slightly ahead of KU (Kentucky, UCLA, Duke, North Carolina to name a few).\n\nIf we're speaking strictly of the "hardware earned" then yes, top 10 but not top 5. \n\nIf we're talking consistantly decent teams, KU is right there in the top 5.

Pablo,\nHow can you say that the Shockers (Wichita State) are not any good?!  They don't give bad teams an at large bid into the NCAA tourney!!
