How are your brackets doing?

Is your bracket busted yet?
Not me.
I'm going to credit it more to luck than skill, but I can honestly say my team -- National Chump -- in the private Yahoo! league Fan Fanatic BBall Challenge is alive and kicking.
For how long, who knows? Yes, it could be over very soon. Perhaps in the next round.
So enjoy it while it lasts.
But has this tournament gone basically according to plan? It appears like it ... so far.
All four No. 1 seeds are still chasing March Madness glory. Of the four -- North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Louisville and UConn -- only the Huskies have easily cruised in the first two rounds. Pittsburgh hasn't look good at all, however, with close games vs. East Tennessee State and Oklahoma State. Perhaps their so-so guard play will bite them soon. Maybe against UNC in the Final Four (that's my prediction)?
The Tar Heels shook off LSU in the second round, while Louisville just snuck by Siena. Siena, come on, who are these clowns? ... oops, I mean the Saints. So sorry.
While many people like the underdog, I really hate them. I like to see the best teams advance in this tournament so two elite powers can face off in the Elite 8, Final Four and National Championship Game. These low seeds really don't have a shot at a title, so their title is knocking off a national power.
Big deal, it still doesn't do it for me.
I want to watch the best teams play, not Siena, Western Kentucky, Northern Iowa, etc. I'd rather welcome them to the tournament, give them their free goody bag and send them on their way back home with a quick blowout loss.
Power to the elite programs!
What joke of a team will break my bracket now?
Probably no one because all 16 teams left standing are legit in my book (well, Xavier's probably the weakest so they'll beat Pitt).
Isn't this stat great: The top 3 teams in each region make Sweet 16 for the first time in history.
Take that underdogs. Have fun watching the real programs play now!!!
I really love the tourney this year.
Bye-bye underdogs.
