User:Skarmory/NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament upsets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To anyone stumbling across this page, this is an overhaul of NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament upsets that I'm working on. Feel free to chip in if you want, but if you have any ideas for which games should be included/excluded that are potentially controversial, I'd like to talk it out on a talk page somewhere (the one for this page should work). I'm not going to focus on prose until after I finish the tables, but if anyone wants to take that on, be my guest. My main goal right now is to get the tables done and well-sourced – anything defined as an "upset" by the NCAA will be included, at the bare minimum.
My current plan is to include every seed mentioned in a previous section, starting with 16–11 winning in the round of 64, then adding 10–7 winning in the round of 32, and 6 seeds winning in the elite 8. I don't think it's possible to pull an official NCAA upset before those parameters, and 5 seeds and above can never pull off an official NCAA upset. The name will have to be changed, because this list will include teams seeded above others winning (e.g. an 11 over a 14), but it's probably better to do that than to wipe all trace of any "unofficial" upsets by teams after they've already pulled one to get there, at least in my view.
