March Madness: Most-likely upsets to watch for on each seed line

March Madness is a fun time of year because of the upsets. Here is a look at the most likely first-round upsets by each underdog seed.

There is nothing better than a good upset in the first round of March Madness. The most commonly known is, of course, the 12 over 5 upset but that is not all that occurs within the opening weekend of the Big Dance. Very rarely does the bracket end up going “all chalk,” with the highest seed winning each game.

Due to the nature of the tournament as a single-elimination event, shocking results happen almost constantly. And once one domino falls, typically several more are to follow. We have seen years in which two No. 2 seeds fell in the first round. We have seen years where the slipper fit perfectly for a mid-major team to make a miraculously run to the Elite Eight or the Final Four.

March Madness is truly a magical time due to the unpredictability. You may fill out a bracket, but it is typically “busted” within the first couple of days. I mean, let’s be real, how many people had Michigan State picked to go to the Final Four in the year they lost to the No. 15-seeded Middle Tennessee? It’s okay, you can raise your hand. Don’t be shy.

Or how about when C.J. McCollum dropped in 30 points for Lehigh as they upset No. 2 seed Duke in 2012. Seriously, there are almost always dramatic endings in the NCAA Tournament and there should no shortage of upsets this season. Even though the regular season is over, there is still very little separation between teams in the Big Dance.

While the top seeds should still move on, here is a look at the most-likely teams to pull off a first-round upset on each seed line.
