From Bubble Team to Bracket Busters

VCU outscored opponents by 60 on their way to the Final Four
VCU is this years Cinderella with-out a doubt, even though many argue that Butler is also a Cinderella, I argue back that a team that made it to the Championship the year before is not a Cinderella, no matter what seed they are.

The big question now is, who will win the championship? So far what we have learned in this sports year is nothing goes according to plan. Ever since LeBron made his "Decision" the entire sports world has been thrown off its axis. After that nothing has been right. The Giants won the World Series after getting into the playoffs by a couple games, thanks to a Padres meltdown. What was supposed to happen? The Yankee's run through the playoffs and repeat as champs... That worked out well as the Rangers mollywhomped the Yankee's. (Mollywhomp, verb; To dominate, throttle, or embarrass mercilessly with millions of people watching.)

The Packers won it all as a Wild Card
The Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl XLV as a 6 seed, after winning 5 straight elimination games. What was supposed to happen? The Pats were going to route every team on their way to yet another Super Bowl... That ended quickly as Rex Ryan literally talked his way to the AFC Championship. Even in the Super Bowl, you have a proven two time SB QB in Big Ben who had made countless 4th quarter game winning drives, what does he do? He chokes as Green Bay brings home the Lombardi Trophy.

In the NBA- we will see what WILL happen, but right now, a team that made no off season moves (Spurs) has the best record in the NBA... After an entire year of big trades and huge free agents, the teams that sat tight are looking pretty good. My guess is the teams that aren't supposed to win it all, will... (Thunder)

My Point? This year is one of the craziest sports year, and no matter how you try to spin it, who you think will win won't and the team you count out will take it all... So throw out all reasoning, stats, numbers, and Logic, the VCU Rams with an 11 seed could very well win the 2011 NCAA Tournament... Rock on Shaka Smart and welcome to March Madness.
